Video: ABC's Nightline Takes a Look Inside Apple Supplier Foxconn's Factories in China
Apple has received a lot of criticism lately for the living condition of workers in their supplier factories that make iPhones and iPads along with other Apple products.
So Foxconn - Apple's largest manufacturing partner in China, for the first time allowed a reporter and a camera crew into their factory in Schenzen, China.
Nightline aired the report from Foxconn's factories on ABC yesterday.
Here's a list of the most interesting facts from that 30-minute report courtesy The Verge:

Im reading this from my iPad but there is no video so I guess it must be Flash...?
-
Video does show on my iPad .

Nope, it's not flash. The video worked fine on my iphone. Perhaps a poor internet connection?

IT'S A SHAME THE CONDITIONS OF THOSE PEOPLE IN CHINA BUILDING THAT IPHONE AND APPLE TABLET COMPUTER. SO THEY PAY AMERICANS $23 AN HOUR AS A TECH. WHAT ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE PEOPLE HERE IN THIS COUNTRY WHO HAS A DEGREE AND CANNOT GET A JOB WITH THIS UGLY ECONOMY !!! THEY ARE MAKING 100 TIME THE WEIGHT OF THAT PRODUCT WHICH IS NOT WORTH ED. PEOPLE SHOULD BE BUYING AMERICAN PRODUCTS TO KEEP JOBS HERE. IT'S WRONG TO GIVE JOBS AWAY. IT LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY THESE DAYS. MAYBE EVEN SELL THEIR SOULS TO THE DEVIL TO GET AHEAD !!!

Double their pay Apple!

I'm all for doubling the pay. But remember, Apple won't take a profit cut, so plan on paying more per device. Although it wouldn't be much from our stand point.
