>I think Apple should stand by their human rights mantra and move their production out of China...
I think you've misapprehended what the article is saying. It's saying that Apple can produce iPhones, intended for consumers in the US, outside of China.
Now I think we can safely infer from that statement that it's possible for Apple to produce any iPhone outside of China.
What we cannot infer from that statement, is that Apple can produce iPhones in places with no human rights violations.
I mean, moving iPhone production from China, to Vietnam, Myanmar, or Malaysia, for the purposes of making a stand against human rights violations is a bit of a head scratcher. But if all we need to do is move out of China, but not necessarily avoid human rights abuses, then it works.
- graeme 7y agoStill not quite it. US iphones are not all iphones in the world. Foxconn is not claiming that world iphone capacity could be moved out of China. Nor is it claiming that iphone R and D can be moved out of China.

- WildGreenLeave 7y agoYeah, 2 of those are still on my list to travel to! All jokes aside, can you tell me why one of these is not like the others? As far as I see they are all 3 lower incomer Asian countries or what am I missing?
- danans 7y agoI think the implication is that one is not a human rights violator.

- justsayinbruh 7y agoThe US has human rights violators. Conservatives are being banned from free speech daily by the government-funded social media websites.
