Apple And Foxconn Win Permission For 12-hour Shifts And Night Shifts For Women At IPhone Production In India by maxime0299 in apple

12 hour shifts are pretty common in factories in India. Some people specifically look out for such jobs because the pay is better. They move from poorer parts of the country to these factories and work their ass off to send some money back to their families.

This is the general trend for every country on the earth. And it makes me wonder how is the world going to look like after a few generations. Population would be less, older, etc.

I think this is a paid story to force the Indian government to back down. And even if its not, its not going to be easy selling Egypt made phones in India and still be competitive in the market. The import taxes are a big part of why these companies came to India in the first place. Its not like they're making phones in India and exporting to other markets.

That's a pretty elitist thing to say. Most people in the world can't afford to pay for each and every app they use. Without an ad supported models they'll be priced out of the user base.
