The New York Times today published a very worthy people to think of commentary, almost all of Apple's product lines are built in China, but like a few U.S. companies like Apple, Chinese labor is cheap, but only money cause? In fact, it can be said that China's cheap labor is one reason, but even excluded this factor, a company like Apple is not possible to establish factories in the U.S. processed products, and give a simple example, in accordance with the policy a few years ago, our government that one day it will recruit 3,000 employees of the plant, or within two weeks to recruit 8,700 people to give the plant a very favorable government subsidies. This means that a factory in China within two weeks to recruit 8,700 people, while in the United States, this time to complete nine months. Now many parts of electronic products, but most are concentrated in several areas of production, global production is impossible in any case moved to the United States, the United States can not afford.
The following story began: In 2007, the first generation iPhone on sale in the previous month (this time has been mass production of the iPhone), Jobs hands of the public call to the office. Jobs in recent weeks have been personally using the iPhone prototype, Steve Jobs has this iPhone prototype pocket. Jobs raised some angry iPhone, and to tilt the screen so everyone can see the screen above, many of the scratches, then he has the keys from his pocket, said: "People would phone in your pocket, people will be the key in your pocket. Our products are not allowed to be so easily scratched! "Jobs said these words, and even some excitement. For this problem, the solution is only for use against the glass, Jobs said: "I want the glass screen, I want to six weeks to make it perfect." in which the participants of an Apple executive, immediately after the meetings booked a flight to Shenzhen, China. He knew that if within six weeks in order to achieve the perfect addition to Shenzhen, he had no elsewhere to go. Occurred after the "China miracle" stunned enough to allow all foreigners: the new screen arrived at midnight on the factory, the factory foreman in the night quarters set up 8,000 emergency workers, each worker made a cup of tea and some snacks , 8000, after half an hour all the posts in place, 12 hours a class started for the iPhone for the glass screen, this process lasted 96 hours, every 24 hours of iPhone production of 10,000 units. In fact, these two years, this plant has been responsible for a code-named Purple 2 production tasks, in order to redefine the telephone, for design and a variety of considerations, or an idea just because Steve Jobs, the factory will receive some of the "urgent task" for a limited time to produce a certain product or process. Want to ensure that this efficiency, and will not let the cost of the deficit, then the only factory in China can do it. Purple 2, is the legendary symbol of the first generation iPhone, although Apple has never been tested.
