Yes there's an app to use it, but still it's a pain to have to carry multiple devices.

It would be good for people on road trips

The majority of the population probably won't care at all. That said, apparently they have an app already you can use your phone for anyhow.

I just don't think most of the population cares enough to use satellite (that you have to pay extra for either typically anyhow) with how infrequent they would likely need to use it overall. I personally wouldn't play for a whole new phone for it and I actually hike and shit. I just don't do wild shit aline amdet folks know ahead of time.

Edit: Plus, if I have to pay anyway, Garmin is likely much better of a piece of equipment to use anyhow than iPhone. I'll end up with much better service with a better device meant for it.

Seriously wondering how many of these reports are seeded by Samsung and others... because this isnt a iphone thing... but a industry thing... yet you NEVER see mention of the other companies who use literally the same companies to produce their phones and computers.

Welp... no new phone for me yet then. Guess that's good.

Serious question as an Android user.

Are the top Android models (Samsung, Pixel, etc) made in significantly better working conditions or is "hell" par for the course for most brands?

“I never thought I’d need a dick in my ass…until I did.”

Nowhere did I say it shouldn't be improved or better. It's just that the writer described factory work in China, as if THEY are in worse conditions than us.

Yes, factories everywhere are horrid work environments. Yes, there are real horrid work environments that work people literally to death. However, this article proves that what we have here in NA or in first world isn't much better, but as long as we wave our flags higher then we can be more Righteous in our ignorance.

Yeah marginally and not enough to be really noticeable. Again 12 hr days of being in the bakery with 60 to 70 percent charge at the end. The battery doesnt instant drain just because its a little hot. Anyways good day!

What a weird comment. Nobody claimed it was perfect. Every model does not have its pros and cons, that's just objectively false.

I hope people consider that the massive Covid camps China built in plain sight are concentration camps. I sure as shit hope this doesn’t escalate to a war if the super powers.

Because they are replaced by starvation?

You talk as if the jobs have to be shit. THEY DONT.

Oh well that's fine then. Good thing we killed all workers right movement's everywhere.

>Apart from a strictly timed hour-long lunch break

>and it paid on time

The conditions are obviously not perfect but there are factories in the US that are much, much worse. The two I’ve been to made employees eat their lunch in <20 minutes and return immediately to their station or get penalised, this included a bathroom brake.

The focus on Apple here seems to be because of its size and influence in the western world, but the conditions for this factory are from from the bottom, even in China and the The US

Good article though.

Of course they still work, but being exposed to high heat leads to faster degradation and quickly drain your battery. This isn't my opinion this is a well documented phenomenon.

And that's a good way to ensure that the company will not build their factory in your country or will move it out if it is there, and that you now have even less tax money to support your people with.

It's all fucked no matter which way you tug it.

It's amazing how phones still operate in southeren California or or Arizona ammirite?

The part where the lineworker took the screw gun and poked her line leader in the face was badass.

That's true. And that's why someone needs to step in and help. A corporation is not going to do the best thing for those towns so it has to be government.

A large tax per "robot" that goes directly to the people would help alot, aka guaranteed basic income.

I’ve referred to my phone as a “13 pro max” plenty of times.

“What kind of phone do you have?” “A 13 pro max.” “Oh cool I have an S22.”

i got surgery and only had to pay for my crutches 👍🤷‍♂️

At the end of the day its all some people can do or know how to do depending on where they live. It's not like new jobs magically appear in dead-end factory towns.

IPhones in hell and the other brands in heaven.. the truth is that so many people applying to work there cause better wages, conditions, vacations… Also China is China 1 billion and half population, you can’t compare.
