“Most People Would Be Disturbed if They Saw Where Their iPhone Comes From”

This according to a former Apple executive who tells the New York Times that the working conditions at the company’s overseas manufacturing partners are still sorely lacking. And while there have been improvements since Apple began auditing factories, there’s a lot more that can be done. Said another former Apple exec, “We’ve known about labor abuses in some factories for four years, and they’re still going on. Why? Because the system works for us. Suppliers would change everything tomorrow if Apple told them they didn’t have another choice.”
