...not even photos or reports of the train that left the factory with over 2000 striking workers headed for a re-education camp/asbestos mine in the far west. Nor any mention of the train arriving at the factory with over 2000 new employees immediately afterwards. Not one word! The silence from China is deafening.
I meant it jokingly, not that there was anything actually being covered up, but that there was something being fabricated.
So why is it that so many news stories come out about Foxconn, and not just that, but it's always associated with Apple. I know that Foxconn workers also make parts for the xbox 360 and playstation 3 yet we never hear of those workers being disgruntled.
China Labor Watch is a political organization. Does this explain everything to you?
Those scratches and scuffs are unbelievable. Can't help thinking this is Samsung money and moles.
Interestingly, I was at a party today and a guy was complaining about his Samsung phone. He got one about a year ago and it started crashing every time he took a photo. Then, it started crashing more and more frequently and finally crashed every 5 minutes. They told him it was a problem with the CPU overheating. He exchanged it for another one and it's doing the same thing.
So Apple's "quality problems" involve some insignificant scratches and scuffs on a small percentage of the phones. Samsung's quality problems are phones that don't work.
That box is zero protective. The tray is the same loose design they have always used, nothing holding it in place. A mere slip of plastic 'protecting' the front screen.
But you go on and believe that it's all happening during assembly. Because after that they are wrapped in piles of protective material and handled with delicate care until it arrives in your hands.
Well it's been a year since I opened my 4S, and all I remember is the nest inside a rigid box. Ok, it's loose in there.
So what is causing the scratches? Plastic? Not hard enough. Dust? Not big enough. Sand? Very rare inside iPhone boxes. You have to show more cause than rattling around. You need something harder than the anodizing or the aluminum to make the scratch out of the mishandling, no?

i dont see that at all. The iPhone is securely placed in there with the pressure of the shrink wrapped box on top pressed down on the face of the iPhone. There is nothing loose inside that box.
But for argument sake, let's sake the box design is faulty. That would still be Apple's fault, not FedEx. However, there is nothing faulty I see with the box design.

My iPhone 5 arrived by FedX in perfect condition even though Apple's box was being flung around inside the FedX box like seats on an American Airlines flight. Even the exterior of the Apple box was unscathed.
The absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence...
Oh, good.
… I don't… like that the trolls have made me take everything at face value. We can't joke anymore. Not without sarcasm tags, at least. And I don't like that.
There could have ben a riot, but it probably occurred among the worker who assemble devices for Dell/HP/et al. They would be upset that they are assembling lesser quality items, and those making iPhones and iPads have been letting them know ...
Yes, it's true, the publication you work for chose to publish the story about the protest without any pictures.
1) I work for no one.
2) Funny that, in your vehement antipathy of everything that Apple does and everything we do here, you can't seem to find any yourself. I thought you'd be all over that, throwing the pictures up in multiple threads where they're off-topic.

That sounds about right.

So no pictures, just pedantry. Gorgeous.

Now isn't that just gorgeous.
Right! No strike the working conditions are great and the quality of the scratched iphone 5 are excellent. Next apple will be selling land in Florida.

You'll have to have evidence to support your position. So far, no one has provided any.
do we really need some evidence for everything?
