Steve Jobs, for his part, declared: The difference is that Foxconn City is a nation-state governed entirely by a corporation and one that happened to be producing one of the most profitable products on the planet.
A cab driver lets us out in front of the factory; boxy blue letters spell out Foxconn next to the entrance. The security guards eye us, half bored, half suspicious. The work is very high pressure and he and his colleagues regularly logged hour shifts. His friend, who worked at the factory for two years and chooses to stay anonymous, says he was promised double pay for overtime hours but got only regular pay.
They paint a bleak picture of a high-pressure working environment where exploitation is routine and where depression and suicide have become normalised. Over several visits to different iPhone assembly factories in Shenzhen and Shanghai, we interviewed dozens of workers like these.
So take this for what it is: The vision of life inside an iPhone factory that emerged was varied. Some found the work tolerable; others were scathing in their criticisms; some had experienced the despair Foxconn was known for; still others had taken a job just to try to find a girlfriend. Almost everywhere, people said the workforce was young and turnover was high. Since the iPhone is such a compact, complex machine, putting one together correctly requires sprawling assembly lines of hundreds of people who build, inspect, test and package each device.
One worker said 1, iPhones passed through her hands every day; she was in charge of wiping a special polish on the display. That works out at about three screens a minute for 12 hours a day. More meticulous work, like fastening chip boards and assembling back covers, was slower; these workers have a minute apiece for each iPhone.

And many workers sign contracts that subtract a hefty penalty from their pay if they quit before a three-month introductory period. On top of that, the work is gruelling. Instead of discussing performance privately or face to face on the line, managers would stockpile complaints until later. They will scold you in front of everyone in a meeting later. In certain cases, if a manager decides that a worker has made an especially costly mistake, the worker has to prepare a formal apology.
This culture of high-stress work, anxiety and humiliation contributes to widespread depression. Xu says there was another suicide a few months ago. He saw it himself. The man was a student who worked on the iPhone assembly line. After being publicly scolded by a manager, he got into a quarrel. Xu and his friend look at each other and shrug.
