It’s another scandal in Apple’s supply chain, which has been a controversial part of Apple’s business for years.
Apple supplier Foxconn has admitted to using illegal intern labour to assemble the iPhone X.
Students said they worked 11-hour days, which is a breach of Chinese labour law.
The scandal comes after Apple reportedly faced delays in getting the iPhone X to customers.
Apple supplier Foxconn has said that it will stop using illegal intern labour in its factories that are used to assemble technology products for some of the world’s biggest companies, according to a report by BBC News.
Foxconn’s use of interns on its production lines was first reported by The Financial Times. Six students told the newspaper that they regularly work 11-hour shifts assembling Apple’s new iPhone X, which is a breach of Chinese labour law. The Financial Times said that a group of 3,000 interns worked in Foxconn’s factories.
