                          CyberPunkSimms, 10 Aug 2024Who Apple are using. At a tech headquarter lead by supply chain guy!

                            I thought Foxcon already produced iPhone 15s , sorry iPhone16 looks similar! They may get confused while assembling!

                              When I was naive I thought being rich was about effort

                              But it's mostly about exploitation of people, loop holes in contracts, etc etc

                                Lister, 10 Aug 2024You do know that Foxconn is a Chinese company right? what's your point?

                                People hate on Chinese companies and cite out points saying that the country is bad and workers don't have power or rights yet Apple does the same thing and hires Chinese people to work to produce iPhones. If Vietnamese were as skilled they'd have hired them and taken more advantage of them since the rates are so low.

                                Apple and other companies say they're going green but they make repairs harder by making batteries non removable and display repairs cost nearly as much as another phone in some cases, leading people to just buy new phones. 20-40% of a new phone is a huge amount and instead of spending that in fixing an old phone, most people would go out and buy a new one. Another evil reason behind Apple and Samsung's high sales numbers. The market leaders do this so apart from some social enterprises, other companies do as well. If you saw your dad/teacher doing something, won't you repeat it?

                                  I thought they moved their production out of China to other countries.

                                        Friendly reminder to install more nets. With more employees you're probably going to have more suicidal ppl (more than they already have, which is a LOT) and more attempts. So good luck!
