The programme started by telling us of the problems uncovered 3 years ago when Foxconn made the phones and 14 workers committed suicide......due to working conditions. Nothing much has changed even though Pegatron now has the contract to make the iPhones..

One word - Disgusting !!

[Bambino]

Totally agree. Apple should feel shamed by that.

Regardless of anyone's feelings about Apple products, in light of this info, consumers should boycott their products - It is the only way Apple will change if it hits their profit line.
If this was any other manufacturer I would say the same so it's not Apple bashing - It's just absolutely disgraceful practice and needs to be stopped.

They showed they care nothing for their workforce....or the environment. An absolute and utter disgrace.

And people are surprised? ?
$155bn in the bank but they can't do the right thing? Commerce at its worst.

I wonder how many owners are still proud to flash their iPhones around now?

Poisonous green fruits @MI5.

I am so glad I have never purchased Apple products. Not even using my work one much other than as an email machine cos I don't get it
