If you’re an iPhone or iPad owner, then you have probably had to put the mental picture of how your phone was manufactured far away in the back of your mind, and no one would blame you. Given the disgusting working conditions endured by under paid staff working at Foxconn and Apple’s other miserable factories in China. I realize that there are many other companies that make stuff for US Corporations in China, but no one more than Apple tries to portray this squeaky-clean image of having the perfect product, all the while ignoring how this success came about. What is a phone worth? Is the price of getting the latest phone really worth the bloodshed of dozens of people who have to commit suicide or died from the harsh, concentration camp style work environment. These poor people that get no credit from Apple jump to their death to escape the prison like conditions, often standing for 24 hours on the assembly line. Apple was founded on good principals to make computers easy to use for people lacking the ability to adapt to changing technology trends; this was re affirmed when the iPhone 4s came out and people were so excited about this new phone that wasn’t as powerful as the Samsung Galaxy S II that had been on the market for some time. Users of apple products really don’t care what they are buying, nor do they care how powerful the product is… as long as they get the product that fits with their douche all important sorry ass images.
