The factories where they produced the iPhone and iPad are closed to the 8 keys and this is not news to anyone. But first, a television network was allowed to enter the production line of China's Foxconn (whose client, among other companies, Apple) to know what happens there. And we come to the conclusion that the iPhone is nearly all done by hand.
The special report "A trip to the iFactory" spent last night on ABC in the United States. The program Nightline showed details of the production line of Apple products and how the lives of factory workers at Foxconn are produced where the iPhone and the iPad.
Here's a video with part of the documentary:
In the documentary, interesting data. For example, one finds that the iPhone is for 141 people to get ready, the iPad, by 325 and takes 5 days to complete. Each worker receives $ 1.78 per hour worked and still must pay his own lunch, which costs $ 0.70. Good cheap lunch there, huh?
Workers who have a dormitory at the factory, pay $ 17.50 per month for "rent." It is important to note that the reference costs that we have here in the West (and especially in Brazil) is completely different than it has in China, where everything is cheaper.
A technician said that the working conditions there improved greatly after Apple pushed Foxconn. Formerly it was even worse.
He never spoke much of the working conditions in China / Taiwan and now with Apple. The success of Apple's products draw the attention of the media, who always ignored the atrocities that happened with the workers of the giant Asian country (which, incidentally, has grown into what is today thanks to semi-slavery of his people). But with Apple producing its devices there, now all they are concerned about them.
At least now the world is concerned with the Chinese.
To watch the episode in full (in English), there is the ABC's website, but can only be viewed with a U.S. IP.
