Apple and Foxconn respond to ABC's iPad factory expose

Apple and Foxconn respond to ABC's iPad factory expose

. Apple and Foxconn have each responded to various claims made in ABC's Nightline segment that took a look inside two Foxconn factories in an effort to shed light on their working conditions. Responding to a comment made by one worker who claimed she carves aluminum shavings from 6,000 iPad cases each day, Apple said this was likely the result of a miscommunication. “In manufacturing parlance this is called deburring. Her line processes 3,000 units per shift, with two shifts per day for a total of 6,000. A single operator at Ms. Zhou's station would deburr 3,000 iPads in a shift,” Apple told ABC.
