Apple has confirmed that they hired AZN teens + tweens to craft their iPods. Unfortunately, they only had 15 teen workers on the books, but the company probably could have had better margins for last quarter if the had paid teen workers with iPhones and iPod touches pre-loaded with 'App Store' gift certificates.

I am not sure if this is a 'bad thing', since teens love to get summer jobs in America. I feel like tons of teens would love the opportunity to make iPods + iPhones.

Basic information:

Parts of your iPod or iPhone could have been manufactured by a child.

At least eleven 15-year-old kids were working in three factories that supply Apple, according to the Telegraph.

Apple, which has factories in the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, the Czech Republic, the United States, Taiwan and Singapore, would not release information about the specific factories using child labor. It did, however, say that it no longer employs children in its factories.

Do yall respect Apple for employing children? Do yall feel sad that the hands of children were used 2 make iPods instead of playing with them / sexting with them?

Should I get a vintage Macbook Air or an iPad?

Do yall think that Apple 'enslaves' people when they work at an Apple Store?  What's the difference between labor, child labor, slavery, and indentured servitude?

Should we make more children work if they aren't going to do anything productive within society when they grow up?
Should we organize some sort of 'protest' outside of an Apple Store?
Should we pay American teens to make iPods instead of AZN / Pacific Islander teens?

"Work will set yall free."
