Electronics assembly in china is also done in an "air conditioned" environment, FWIW. Has to be, or the products wouldn't work well. The iPhone is undoubtedly assembled in a room which is controlled for temperature, humidity, and dust at least as well as the offices in cupertino. Well-lit, too.

- glenra 16y ago> Sounds like an awesome place to work.... In terms of physical facilities, it is an awesome place to work. Especially by local standards. The only thing that really sucks about it by western standards is the pay and the hours. And that it's, you know, located in an industrial part of southern China. The weather is much nicer in Cupertino, and when you're at HOME (or in the communal dorms on-site) the air conditioning in Dongguan is going to suck because outside the factory there's no backup diesel generator for when you get a brownout or blackout. Which happens a couple times a day. (or did about ten years ago when I was there last) Designers want to design; Cupertino might be the best place for that unless what you're designing is the production process. But if factory work there paid anything like a western wage it'd be a pretty attractive option for factory workers here. Although it might be hard if you don't speak Mandarin and Cantonese - I had a translator.
