The iPhone 5 is here. Who actually make the iPhones? Millions of Chinese workers. It's an exhausting, backbreaking, and mind-numbingly tedious job. A reporter for a Shanghai newspaper spent a week working in a Foxconn factory helping to build iPhone 5s. He described the working and living conditions as a "nightmare," and he couldn't quit soon enough. And it isn't a job that pays enough to enable the folks who make the iPhones to actually buy an iPhone. It pays only $2 an hour (Yes, thousands of people line up for Foxconn jobs as these jobs are a bit better than working in rice paddies.)
