Apple shouldn't worry. The polluters are probably the ones making the fake i-Phones for the fake Apple Stores in China anyway...

What happens is that the out sources out source again and again, and no one can keep track.

What are you talking about Jgirl! You are telling me that apple or other manufacturers are clueless as to where their products are being produced?? Anyway, apple always says on its products that its just ASSEMBLED in china. I guess someone is not telling the whole truth.

USN - Foxconn is a proven polluter, their factories run with minimal exhaust gases filtering. There are hundreds of cases of people sickened by those gases, all covered up by the government and Foxconn, and all while Apple turns a blind eye to it. If they claim they didn't know about it they are simply lying. Apple simply can not afford to enforce their own environmental standards on their suppliers, due to the massive costs involved... all this while claiming they do care about the environment.

THAT'S WHY I never buy ANYTHING made in china, the costs are cheap because human life and environment is cheap over there...
