The production of Apple's iPhone 17 series has come under scrutiny due to allegations of labor rights violations. China Labor Watch has reported that employees were forced to work nights and their pay was withheld, violating local laws. Apple personnel on-site were aware of these violations but did not take action. Workers who complained faced threats and surveillance.
Despite these controversies, the new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air models are slated for a September release. However, concerns have been raised about the durability of the devices, with reports of damage to the aluminum construction. Additionally, some users have reported cellular issues with the iPhone 17 series.
The backlash against Apple's labor practices and product quality has sparked outrage among consumers and advocates for worker rights.
