That iPhone or iPod you know and love so much, may have been built by a child.
Telegraph.co.uk reports that almost a dozen underage children were found to be working in Apple-contracted factories last year. Apple did not disclose the locations of the facilities with underage workers, but did confirm that they were found at three separate locations. Apple auditors visited facilities in a total of 9 countries which build iPhones, iPods and various Apple Computers.
Apple’s progress report (PDF) states, “Across the three facilities, our auditors found records of 11 workers who had been hired prior to reaching the legal age, although the workers were no longer underage or no longer in active employment at the time of our audit.”
