Who Makes Apple Iphone China

Low pay off and long hour working: according to Bureau of Labor Statistics, an electronic US worker works for 41 hours a week and paid $23 per hour. On the other hand, each electronic worker in Foxconn is paid only $2 per hour for working 60 hours in a week.

All these issues is causing several suicidal attempts by the Foxconn employees. Foxconn put up suicide nets around the factory in 2010 to prevent death which is actually similar to curing a disease without prevention.

Apple might consider talking to the executives of the firm, to create better working conditions for the employees. They could say that if they don’t create better working conditions then they have to produce their parts of iPhone somewhere else.

4. On balance, do you think that the kind of out-sourcing undertaken by Apple is a good thing or a bad thing for the American economy? Explain your reasoning?

Ans: Yes I think outsourcing is a good option for Apple and it will also help the economy. As because of outsourcing in China Apple can produce iPhones at a much cheaper price as the cost of labors and the cost of parts are low. As the price of the phones would be lower, the demand for the phone would increase and then Apple can export more phones then it would benefit the economy of America as there will be a positive impact on the Balance of payment of America. There will be also increase in demand for iPhones in the America so the demand for imported phones will decrease and if import decrease then it will be beneficial for the Balance of payment of America which will ultimately be beneficial for America’s economy.
