Bear in mind that the salary these workers get is probably less than half that. Last year, according to the Daily Mail (yeah...), they were being paid £180 ($300) per month [0]. The salary these workers get is a small percentage of the retail price of these devices, it's not like Apple can't afford to pay them a decent salary and provide ethical working conditions.

- mcphage 12y ago> it's not like Apple can't afford to pay them a decent salary Well, Apple doesn't pay them any salary at all—they're not Apple employees.
- ghostDancer 12y agoYes but they are deeply offended , if they're not their employees is not their problem, why feel offended? .
- mcphage 12y agoI get offended by plenty of things outside my direct sphere of influence, that aren't my problem. Most of them, I can't do anything about. But it's still upsetting.
