What? A slightly larger screen? Below 5inch? Apple only produce a mini phone. Below 5 inch is categorised a mini phone to me. Nothing much to enjoy, just fast scrolling only due the small screen.

      Factories in China often stop in the middle of the day to allow employees to sleep for a couple of hours.

They don't want you to see the reality of the sweatshops their products are actually assembled in.

                          lolza, 09 Jun 2013hahaha...sterile tables ? thei're not making scalpels, thei... moreerm how about you get a grip, have you not seen the foxxconn factory on the news for all the problems it has had over the years, and videos, they all show a very clean and in places automated factory with hundreds of line conveyor belt workers handling the parts, yet on the pictures they are just supposedly stacked on tables with sleeping workers, oh and by the way in "sterile" I just meant, free from contaminants, which is supposedly how these factories are meant to operate

                            Thos is amazing.

It does says "The photos might not be genuine with the workers on the line sleeping on the job and not wearing masks."

                                The fact that no masks are used make these pics more genuine. That is the reality of manufacturing in the developing world - anything is done to bring the costs down.

                                      is it just me or are there multiple things wrong with those shots, i thought smartphone facilities were all very clean and all wearing protective gear,, masks and such, in them shots, there are people sleeping, people just hanging around. them frames just laid out like that on standard tables, the whole places does not look very sterile. i just remember rows upon rows of workers dressed in white with masks, on conveyor belt lines in bright lit factories, this just looks like any random place.
