Many are the components that carry the AirPods and in general Apple devices, all these components are usually ordered from the different suppliers that Apple has distributed around the world and in this case it has had to receive a strong economic investment to the responsible for producing the VCSEL sensors used for the iPhone X and AirPods.
In this case we are talking about an American company that is in part what the president of the country Donald Trump has already been asking for, and that will also strengthen the company in the current market for its own benefit and obviously Apple. In this case it is an investment of 390 million dollars that will serve to build a new plant in Texas, which will serve to supply the great demand for these sensors by Apple.
Apple itself is the one who confirmed this investment for this important part of the AirPods and the new iPhone X. And it is that the sensor that VCSEL manufactures for these two devices is the one in charge of recognizing the proximity of the device to our ear in the case of AirPods and integrates with the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera to detect true depth.
The investment in this company will undoubtedly provide Finisar with a good dose of work that will have to be covered with about 500 new hires for their new factory in Texas. In this way they will keep Trump himself happy, in addition to serving to supply future Apple devices that possibly add the Face ID sensor and the AirPods sensors to detect their proximity and connect. We always say that suppliers are important to Apple and this type of investment clearly demonstrates it, since if they are not able to supply the demand of the Cupertino company, it loses sales and as a consequence alternative suppliers are sought. Certainly good news for both of you.
