Apple is currently dealing with one of the biggest frauds related to the production of iPhones. At the Taiwanese company Foxconn, where the giant from Cupertino has had the majority of iPhones manufactured for several years, management employees made extra money by selling iPhones assembled from discarded components.
Under normal circumstances, if a component is classified as defective, it is discarded and subsequently destroyed according to the prescribed procedure. However, this did not happen at Foxconn, and instead the company's managers came up with the idea that iPhones would be produced on the side from discarded components, which should then be sold as original. Within three years, the management of the company was enriched by 43 million dollars in this way (converted by a billion crowns).
Specifically, the fraud took place in a factory that Foxconn built in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou. The company has yet to issue an official statement and it is not clear how many employees were involved in the matter. More details will likely be revealed over time, as Foxconn has launched an internal investigation these days. According to the information, the company should pay compensation to consumers who bought iPhones with defective components.

Apple is a fraud… They should make it in their US factories and they won't have to deal with this. I don't really trust those scrapped parts.
Cheating was always and everywhere in the world both in the socialist and capitalist system. Only the methods differed, but the execution style was always about financial enrichment. As long as China and, by extension, Asia was a not so developed continent, it was not such a problem and fraud, including corruption, remained normal. But after 1989, the world turned upside down, the hunt for money and profit gained momentum. Today, we actually live in a fully criminal environment. Good for us, we didn't value a more peaceful life and preferred stress, worries, health problems that are part of competitive capitalism, including the pursuit of money. And our path is lined with dead people on the roads, suicides of those who couldn't make the transition, drug addicts and homeless people, maladjusted citizens and overcrowded prisons. We didn't deserve anything else. And now we're all enslaved by the latest geni(t)al vaginal and malfunctioning digital technology. Today, no one can imagine what all this technology contains, what risks and dangers. In front of us are incredibly exciting questions that we will not be able to answer even in the slightest despite the rapidly changing development. Only experts know this, but there are few of them.
Tinfoil needed!
I don't know if it's true or not, but bad advertising is also advertising?
Well, I would be more interested, but how can I find out if I or someone at work has become a victim of Foxconn's fraud....
Is there a recipe for detection?
Or this is just misinformation to damage the Apple brand.
