Q10 Powered by 10.2.1.192503-02-14 01:23 PMLike 3 - Apple was frowned upon on these forums for using Foxconn, they've now apparently gone to Pegatron according to that link.
BlackBerry is now with Foxconn, does that make them just as dirty? And does BlackBerry have any other dirty secrets?

(or cheese)
Giving away your manufacturing leaves you kind of open or vulnerable. That's speaking for BlackBerry.
I think Apple now for a while were using Pegatron and Foxconn, and now Foxconn got dumped. Apple has way more sway and control, they offer the probably juiciest contract in the world.

You don't change the "item" you change the company... usually.

Posted via CB1003-02-14 05:38 PMLike 0 - that doesnt make it okay to have your contract manufacturer treating people like crap. Its time they didnt use people as the way to save money. People are not a commodity but all of sudden they have become this. Whats next contract manufacturers to take over everything. Maybe its legal services, accounting or operations people next time. We could all find ourselves out of work if this continues. So yes it does matter and yes we should care who they use and what the conditions are because that person struggling just might be you who gets there wages cut or job offshored.Berry_Pink likes this.03-02-14 06:24 PMLike 1

Foxconn manufactures approximately 50% of ALL consumer electronic products produced today.
Stop for a minute and think about that.
NOT using them for contract electronics manufacturing at this point is not entirely like someone deciding that breathing air is not hip any more, so they decide to give up breathing air.
People get on these petty crusades when their pet product (like Apple) finally motivates them to learn how the world works, and then when they figure a little part of this out, they go on these faux outrage campaigns to "do something" about some tiny corner of the world that doesn't actually have much impact on anything except to assuage their newly guilty conscience.
There are far greater injustices everywhere around them, but because people's ego are so wrapped-up with their smartphones and electronic doo-dahs these days, that becomes a metaphor for something that really doesn't amount to much in the grand scheme of things.
So we have products made by name-brand companies in sweatshops in places where workers have no rights, get low pay, are getting lifelong diseases because of exposure to toxic chemicals etc because those things are intentionally manufactured in places that have crappy environmental and labor standards, and the manufacturers write pathetic things on the package like "printed with biodegradable inks". Barf. Yet they gripe to high heaven if the price on their next "gotta have" doo-dah is $20 higher than last year.
People need to see past the ring in their nose they are being led around with.03-04-14 08:25 AMLike 0 - OmnitechDragon Slayer
You realize that any product made in China - which means MOST products these days - is made there SPECIFICALLY because of the low wages and poor working conditions, right? Otherwise the cost to make the product would be higher, and the customers refuse to pay higher prices for these things.
As for suicide rate - you realize that the suicide rate at Hon Hai dba Foxconn live-in factory towns in China is actually lower than the country-wide average in China, right?
And you realize that the Foxconn factory complex in Shenzhen employs around half a million people, right?
It is the largest factory complex ever in the history of the human race.03-04-14 08:29 AMLike 0
