Reply to comment by MrBohannan in ‘iPhones are made in hell’: 3 months inside China’s iPhone city - Workers describe a peak production season marred by labor protests and Covid-19 chaos, right as Apple reconsiders its China supply chain. by speckz

people fail to realize that apple doesn’t own the vast majority of these factories. third party assembly contractors often lie about working conditions, and apple generally has been pretty good about switching companies when issues have been discovered.

and i’m not talking about the issues mentioned in this article, that’s just how working in a high-yield factory generally is. i’m talking about slavery and child labor, or unsafe conditions

Apple doesn't' own any factories. All manufacturing is outsourced. Apple does the design work.
