It’s kind of hard to know what is going on from an outsiders perspective. Maybe Apple could have or should have known about this before, maybe they did already know, maybe they did everything they realistically could and were deceived.

One thing is certain, this problem isn’t specific to Apple. The whole electronics manufacturing industry is rotten and the only ones capable of fixing it are the governments of these counties. Wistron should be crushed for this wage theft and serve as a warning for other companies.

It’s the 12 that doesn’t. The logic being that everyone already has a draw full of chargers and cables so it makes sense to remove the brick from the packaging which slims it down and reduces waste.

All the other countless brands of product manufactured in that same factory are good to buy

It’s pointless. The only thing that can fix this problem is governments. They have the power to crack down on these manufacturing companies and actually put a stop to it.

Tweeting about it won’t do a thing. Buying an alternative brand phone won’t do a thing either because they all come from the same places. This wasn’t an Apple factory, it was just a generic electronics factory that probably produces a large chunk of the stuff you have regardless of brand.

They aren’t apple employees we don’t even know if these workers were working on apple products. They are Wistron employees, a company that works on everything from TVs to IoT devices. We just know that the factory was contracted to produce the iPhone SE 2 for Indian customers and that Apple did pay fairly and some management level at wistron pocketed it instead of paying the workers.
