Dr. Chillo, 12 Jan 2019Yes Apple did but after many people did jump out of windows... moreYou don't seem to understand how outsourcing works. These people do not work directly for Apple. They are hired by Foxconn and so, it is Foxconn that determines their basic salary, compensation and benefits. Apple simply pays Foxconn the amount set in their contract. If you want to complain and fight for these people's rights, attack China/Taiwan and the company itself. But no, you won't, as you're only doing this because it's Apple. Attacking Apple is a hip thing to do!

Those workers CAN NOT live with that payment. can you live with 130$ per month without any help from your country and working 49 hours per week?

      Dr. Chillo, 06 Jan 2019Dude Foxconn doesn’t only manufacture Apple devices, it doe... moreFrom what I gathered, Apple's supplier Foxconn, reduced the working hours from 60 to 49 hours to comply with Chinese labor laws: https://reut.rs/2RjMzhQ. Employees are complaining about it.

        Rutherford, 05 Jan 2019You are overreacting. All I was saying is that, almost all ... moreDude Foxconn doesn’t only manufacture Apple devices, it does for some others as well but only Apple doesn’t accept to pay more and only Apple doesn’t reduce the working hours.

          Dr. Chillo, 04 Jan 2019A beautiful American mind "other people are abusing and sla... moreYou are overreacting. All I was saying is that, almost all companies outsource their manufacturing process to China. Everybody's doing it. I didn't mean anything beyond that, so don't put words in my mouth. I'm not defending Apple's actions, and truth be told, if we are to blame any company for misdeeds, it should be Foxconn, a Taiwanese company, not Apple. Why do they treat their own citizens like crap? I do not appreciate the bad wishes on me and my family.

            Rutherford, 19 Dec 2018Thousands will lose their jobs if Apple fails. You act like... moreA beautiful American mind "other people are abusing and slavinag people so why shouldn't we?"
            I really Hope one Day the same thing Happen to you and your Family, i Hope you musst work as hard and live as horrible as those Poor Chinese workers of Foxconn. I Hope you'l be in same Situation to work 16Hours to live for 1 Day and other people just Look at you and say the same thing as you say "i don't care. Others are abusing you so why shouldn't I?"

              Rutherford, 19 Dec 2018Thousands will lose their jobs if Apple fails. You act like... moreYou are blind and blindly defending Apple without getting 1 Cent from them. It is just so dumb. DUDE if Apple fails no one will lose it's Job in China, the will work for a Company, which pays them at least Abiturient more and don't handle them like animals. You say no just check OnePlus and See how they handle theier workers dude. Do you know how many people ended in jail because they tried to educate people how Apple is abusing us?
              It is so ignorance to say "Apple is not the only one, that is abusing people so let us support apple and make their slavery bigger". Do you Even can call yourself a human with this opinion? I Am really sorry to live on a same planet with creatures like you kid.

                Anonymous, 17 Dec 2018You clearly don't know how economics work. He is correct. ... moreYou obviously don't know that many trillion-dollar worth companies collapsed before,and the world is still spinning (well,maybe your personal world will stop when Apple dies)
                Anyways,your economy system clearly is dependent on your disturbed biased opinion and has nothing to do with the worlds economy.

                  Apple is trying to hide the ugly notch, so they make the screen looks like there is no notch, but they can't because the notch is a trade mark of apple so it can't be removed, and it should be present on every apple phones,just like the apple logo. Apple has made the history, the phenomenal ugly notch. Thats all.

But this is highly exaverated and a practice done by your (assuming) beloved samesung to, oh let's not forget google. Don't stress to much and stop bashing what you do not know. This is just another money digging problem. Sone got without and decided to make some. Apple hast done other way more serious, from trothling to cheap builded iphones, to very poor signal devices, to defective ingeniert Mac books and oh so on. This here, is just a scam.

                        Anonymous, 16 Dec 2018What is wrong with you? You hate a company with passion???... moreBy the Way if Apple dies, will nothing negative happen to this world but so many things will be much better. At least Chinese workers at Foxconn must not work 16H per day and they\re not going to jump from the window.

                          A notch or hole in screen in fact reduces the expected display area given a diagonal screen length and aspect ratio.

It's not their fault consumers don't bother to read or do more research and take everything at only face value.

                                Those arguments won't hold water. Most of the claims are against standard marketing hyperbole or does not mislead buyers in a capacity that's significantly impedes their enjoyment of the device.

                                Classic gold-digging but that's no surprise from NorCal.

                                    They do, of course, provide fine print:

                                    "The display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 5.85 inches (iPhone XS) and 6.46 inches (iPhone XS Max) diagonally. Actual viewable area is less."

                                    And the iPhone X advertisements featured wallpapers that clearly showed the notch area. Any shots of apps on either model show the notch.

                                    Anyone shocked to discover rounded off corners and a notch upon opening the box simply had to exercise their return rights.
