In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad
In the last decade, Apple has become one of the mightiest, richest and most successful companies in the world, in part by mastering global manufacturing. Apple and its high-technology peers — as well as dozens of other American industries — have achieved a pace of innovation nearly unmatched in modern history.
However, the workers assembling iPhones, iPads and other devices often labor in harsh conditions, according to employees inside those plants, worker advocates and documents published by companies themselves. Problems are as varied as onerous work environments and serious — sometimes deadly — safety problems.
Employees work excessive overtime, in some cases seven days a week, and live in crowded dorms. Some say they stand so long that their legs swell until they can hardly walk. Under-age workers have helped build Apple’s products, and the company’s suppliers have improperly disposed of hazardous waste and falsified records, according to company reports and advocacy groups that, within China, are often considered reliable, independent monitors.

iPhone ... "some assy required"
so what? people would still buy them
the only thing iPhone has going for it, is that it is not full of foreigner hacks at the moment. however recently Apple has lent an ear to europe and allowed europe "passwords" to "submit changes" to their code. STUPID MOVE. eruo hackers destroy anythign they touch, and destroy products for a quick $5 in the pocket

Don't worry, idiot puppet Trump, Goldman Sachs and the other billionaire buddies he finally gets to surround himself with and pretend to be in the same club with are going to roll the clocks back on wage growth and are going to increase income disparity enough that we will be making iphones someday!!! In the conditions and for the pay the Chinese are now.
