Foxconn is a manufacturer, not a brand. They win contracts to manufacture products for other brands. You cannot buy a Foxconn-branded product, because they don't exist (yet).
- shrughes 14y agoYou can buy a Foxconn-branded product. See http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&Manufactory=2136&N=50002136&IsNodeId=1&SpeTabStoreType=0 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE... I have a barebones PC that's branded Foxconn.

They were clearly branded "Foxconn" on the packaging and the boards themselves. Apparently you can still buy one today [1]. They also sell computer cases, fans and suchlike under their own brand.

- wtvanhest 14y agoYou could say the same thing about Intel, but because of their brand strategy, many, many people purchase PC's because of their ingredient. Foxconn could theoretically use the same strategy and as an example, be associated with high quality iPhone manufacturing that doesn't negatively impact their employees. That would make them a brand, the fact that they haven't taken this strategy does not eliminate them from the discussion.
