1. Foxconn factory where iPhones are produced
2. Apple iPhone 4S launch in Beijing
3. Phone dials for recycling in Zhejiang Province

China has such a weird relationship with the iPhone. The world is having major guilt pangs about their iPhone habit ever since This American Life did a piece about factory life. Certainly hasn’t put the brakes on sales in China itself though. Frankly, I feel sorrier for the poor bastards in Guiyu who live in mountains of e-waste, sorting through electronic trash that is imported from around the world, for recycling. Their working conditions and pay are far worse than Foxconn factory workers.

The iPhone comes full circle.
