Apple Inc found that its main supplier in Asia has been employing high-school students working illegal overtime to assemble the iPhone X.
Interns at a factory operated by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, part of Taiwan’s Foxconn Technology Group, worked voluntarily and received benefits, though worked longer days than Chinese law permits, Apple said in a statement. The Financial Times reported earlier Tuesday that a group of 3,000 students from the Zhengzhou Urban Rail Transit School were sent to work at the local facility.
