French goes undercover and nothing has changed at the plants. No surprise.




Question: How do you expect to be able to purchase overpriced Apple products without Foxconn?

Make a decision ... you can have it "cheap" or you can ...

Foxconn and this situation only exists because automatons buy Apple's very overpriced crap. If these robots stopped buying Apple ... this issue would fade away ...

Foxconn takes our responsibility to our employees very seriously and we work hard to give our 1.4 million employees in China a safe and satisfactory working environment. We are mandated by our own strict policies, Chinese government law, and our commitments to our customers to ensure that the highest level of health and safety standards are applied to our operations in all locations throughout China.


Bull--------shit!

LOL ... I do not care if Apple makes their crap on Venus, Mars or Saturn. The fact is that I cannot believe the people actually buy their overpriced crap ... hence my original post.

Please do not try to read too much in to ANYONE's post in ATOT.

They should move to automatize everything, so human workers won't be needed and enslaved.

No, the issues would continue to exist, because everyone uses Foxconn.
Apple just use them in order to make massive profit, while others use them to make sometimes zero profit (e.g. games consoles), or some profit (most other people).

I would tend to agree with you. A few make the massive profits ... while the masses make subsistence wages. I see no easy way out of this predicament. As much as I dislike conglomerates like Apple the alternative is Communism ... and we know how well that works. Take a look at China ... the "Communist Party" continues to get rich off the backs of the peasants ...

I agree. There is no real solution.

I don't buy Foxconn or Apple products.

The political stupidity by a few posters in this thread aside, I'm almost positive you've bought products made by Foxconn. Unless you don't any electronics at all and are posting from a borrowed device.

Im almost positive that I have not.

Lucky for me, I'm a college student and all of my assets could fit in a small closet. I'm pretty positive that none of my shit is made by or has any Foxconn components. It will continue to be that way as long as I can help it.

I buy all Apple products. Why? Because I can. :p And because their products are better than the junk the competition offers.

Stop spreading the hate man. Leave the right wing and left wing name calling. Just be damn people. Stop being brainwashed into being either a left winger or a right winger. By you being a left winger, you are automatically at war with a right winger and vice versa. The more you do this, the more hatred we will have in this country. Just look at how much animosity there is in this country. We don't need more of it.

Foxconn is the Proctor and Gamble of electronics.

The computer you are posting on probably has parts made by Foxconn. Look at the chips on the motherboard, chances are one of them will say Foxconn, though even if none say it, it's simply rebranded. Foxconn pretty much has their hands in everything to do with electronics.

I agree, Just look at your signature SheHateMe, guarantee most of that stuff came from foxconn for your PC setup.

Agree. This labelling is starting to become very annoying.
