BBC documentary highlights conditions at a Chinese iPhone factory

It's not Apple's factories per se (which Apple doesn't own, of course-these
are companies contracting for Apple), but China as a whole that has harsh
conditions for workers. I would have liked to have seen the insides of a
factory that makes phones for other companies, one that assembles cheap

from the country. There may be 1 million workers assembling Apple products,
but that is less than 1 percent of the total workforce in the country's
factories. Conditions in toy factories don't seem any better, and may, in
