I don't know much about this stuff but presumably Foxconn has competitors - Samsung and Qualcomm maybe? I'm not sure Foxconn would even fail the audits at this point, they copped a lot of flack for their appalling work conditions and suicide rates in 2010 which I believe contributed to Apple's stance on work conditions since it reflected terribly on them too.

- girvo 13y agoFoxconn... really doesn't have any competitors at scale. Maybe Quanta, but that's it off the top of my head. They are unlike any other company in the world. Too big to fail, and too big to give a shit about human rights sounds about right for them.
