Yet, reports have questioned the morality of practices employed in the manufacture of iPhones in China (see: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/05/workers-rights-flouted-apple-iphone-plant AND http://www.csrwire.com/press_releases/36988-Are-You-Listening-Tim-Cook-Major-Protest-at-Apple-s-Flagship-Manhattan-Cube-Store-Calls-on-Apple-to-Stop-Poisoning-Chinese-Workers).
