Iphones, Ipod, and Ipads all have many things in common, I enjoy using them. Face timing with friends, instant messaging with friends, a ring away from my distant friends. Lets be real though, they have a similar place in where they come from. On the back of the Iphone it says designed in California and assembled in China. Specially Foxconn in Taiwan. That is wear our Iphones are made to make life easier come from. With each unit costing almost 600 dollars. About 245 dollars go into the US- China trade. But Forbes Magazine says China is only a assembly line. The engineers in California do most of the handwork and designing the Iphone and all China does is make it into one thing. A Chinese worker only gets about $10 or less for working on the Iphones. Foxconn is in heat though with the workers. Suicide deaths because of the horrible working conditions in the factories. Apple has 43,000 US employees and 20,000 foreign workers in Asia and Europe. The reason Apple is not in the United States is because of the last minute changes in the business. Apple changed the layout of an Iphone and it was last minute

Iphones were due on shelves in a couple of days and Apple made the factories go into overtime and put in the work very quickly to get the new screens. Apple said no factory in the United States would be able to pull a job like that. A worker is only let off of work one day a month. And 5 suicides been reported in Iphone factories in 2011
