Apple Inc.'s contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. reportedly has begun production of the iPhone7 in preparation for its expected September release, which has raised hopes of a better sales performance by Hon Hai in the second half of the year.

An internet user, under the name Malignant, tweeted that that Hon Hai Precision, trading as Foxconn Technology Group, has begun mass production of the iPhone7.

Malignant also posted a photo purportedly of the iPhone7 camera lens kit.

A French technology news tipster @OnLeaks has also tweeted that production of Apple's 4.7-inch iPhone 7 has started at facilities owned by another Apple contract manufacturer Pegatron.

In addition, Chinese media reported recently that Foxconn had released information about the iPhone7 Plus, saying that the device's dual cameras and wireless charging features would be launched alongside a stable version of iOS 10, Apple's latest mobile operating system.

There have been market speculations that Pegatron will assemble a small part of the iPhone7, while Hon Hai will manufacture most of the device and exclusively assemble the iPhone7 Plus.

Hon Hai is expected to publish its financial statement for June on Monday.
