FT spoke to six of these youngsters, who would number 3 in all between the ages of 17 and 19: they had been told that to complete their schooling they had to spend three months in the factory as "work experience" . Too bad that according to the testimony of one of them in particular, they were practically forced to work there, and this despite their duties having nothing to do with their studies. An 1.200-year-old has revealed that she has assembled up to XNUMX cameras a day of the high-end iPhone with which Apple celebrated the XNUMXth anniversary of the launch of her smartphone.
