Reply to comment by n3m37h in Apple Adds a New iPhone 14 Supplier in India in Shift From China. by SUPRVLLAN

Apple Foxconn factories pay good money for the workers. Nearly 2-3x that of local factory labour wage and have good working conditions.

It’s not the sweatshop you think it is.

Three cents per hour versus one. Gotta make sure they can still afford the anti suicide nets of course

Lol you know nothing. There’s a reason Apple factories here rarely have open positions.

You can have a decent life on their wages. Cost of living is very less here.

Find one on the Indian factories and I’ll agree with you. The Indian labor market is significantly different to China. The cost of labor is cheaper there.

Lol what, are you even indian? Foxxcon pays upto 1.5x the local rates. They pay around ₹16k/month which is decent for a labourer.

Thank God you can sleep at night knowing your phone is made in a responsible Chinese factory since this issue is only an Apple issue. Or maybe you got yours made with good old ‘Merican labor which we all know is unblemished?

Unless your phone is less than two years old there’s a good chance it was made in China. Otherwise it’s probably Vietnam or…wait for it…India. But I’m sure it’s the good part of India. Not that sucky part that Apple uses. 🙄

Vietnam is actually where Samsung phones are made, most of them anyway. Samsung's manufacturing facility is located in Vietnam's Thai Nguyen province where two factories are churning out smartphones, tablets and wearable devices.Oct 3, 2022

I don’t know why this is being down voted. India is as corrupt as the mafia. You can do anything you want as long as you pay off the right government official. That’s why their environment is so screwed up – – they have regulations against pollution but they’re not enforced and differ from region to region. What sense does that make, when we all have to share the same water and air?
