Apple is reportedly employing HTC engineers in a bid to create and release products more quickly and more frequently.
 
Apple is said to be adding hundreds of engineers and supply-chain managers in China and Taiwan.
 
According to the Verge, it is however not clear how many employees Apple has hired, but the move could create another hurdle for HTC, as the company is already facing financial downturn while struggling against larger smartphone makers.
