Here’s 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?”
