Here’s the rest of what we learned:
It takes 141 steps to make an iPhone, and the devices are essentially all handmade 
It takes five days and 325 hands to make a single iPad 
Foxconn produces 300k iPad camera modules per day 
Foxconn workers pay for their own food — about $.70 per meal, and work 12 hour shifts 
Workers who live in the dorms sleep six to eight a room, and pay $17.50 a month to do so 
Workers make $1.78 an hour 
New employees at Foxconn undergo three days of training and “team building” exercises before they begin 
The FLA (which Apple brought in to audit Foxconn) is interested in whether or not workers will look up at visitors in a factory — if they’ll be “willing to look at curiosities” 
Apple paid $250,000 to join the FLA, and is paying for its audit 
Louis Woo, when asked if he would accept Apple demanding double pay for employees replied “Why not?”
