“Lined up with military precision, hundreds of employees wait to make iPhones at one of the most secretive factories in the Apple production line,” Simon Tomlinson reports for The Daily Mail. “Dressed in pink jackets, blue hairnets and plastic slippers, the workers have their ID badges scanned on an iPad by a supervisor at morning roll call.”
“From there, they make their way in single file to the assembly line but not before undergoing facial recognition checks at security turnstiles to clock in,” Tomlinson reports. “Pegatron Corp employs up to 50,000 people to assemble iPhones at its plant in Shanghai which covers an area the size of 90 football fields.”
Tomlinson reports, “Until now, the factory’s inner workings have been a closely guarded secret.”
A multitude of photos of people lining up for a days work here.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple iPhone assemblers are paid far better and work in far better/safer conditions than the average factory worker in China.
