I am a logistician. While pursuing this career, I had to study many products from around the world(a lot of international law and other things as well)
I was struck by your news story concerning Apple and their new "phones". The information I have is around 1 year old. When an I-Phone reaches Apple's warehouse it carries a manufacturing cost of $144.00 USD. I would say there are some pretty healthy profits available. Most of the parts of this phone are made in China and South-East Asia. One such factory, in China, experienced suicide clusters. People were jumping from the building to their death because their company(a subsidary of he I-Phone was forcing emploees to work massive ammounts of overtime. The company's solution to the problem, after this trend was brought to public attention, was to installa net to catch the workers and send them back to work. Apple needs to improve many business practices along with theirI-Phone cost.
