Congo government plans to crack down on buyers like Apple for conflict minerals
AppleInsider said:However, in May, lawyers for the Congo government alleged Apple ignored the DRC's requests for proof the iPhone maker wasn't using minerals mined from areas that profit militant groups.Mostly because proving one's innocence goes against what most Americans feel like is a basic human right, i.e. the whole "innocent until proven guilty" principle that is supposed to underlie American justice (even though it's likely we can all cite examples of precisely the opposite principle actually in action).I recognize that principle doesn't apply everywhere, but since Apple is an American company, they no doubt feel that acting according to that principle is the wisest course of action. -
iPhone 16 A18 processor isn't a 'binned' A18 Pro
To be fair, there's nothing inherently wrong with chip binning. It allows the manufacturer to use "imperfect" chips for other purposes, mitigating some wastage.

Apple accused of forcing employees to sign illegal contracts, quashed labor efforts
9secondkox2 said:Signing contracts isn’t illegal.And if a union is crushed by it, that’s also not illegal.Nothing to see here.Technically, you are correct when you say "signing contracts isn't illegal."However, some contracts are illegal, or at least unenforceable. There are some things, both rights and responsibilities, that cannot legally be contracted away. Not that people don't still try, though.
