Foxcom (Taiwanese manufacturer of Apple iphones, ipads etc) have been criticized over working conditions at it's factories. A worker who was brain damaged in an accident at Shenzhen plant where a life threatening electric shock occurred has been threatened to be cut off funding for his treatment if he doesn't report back to a disability assessment. Apple has been caught on flaws, the approaches has been that of “fix and repent” or “deny and rectify” than to issue . It is difficult to imagine that Apple is above criticism or that the negative publicity will not hurt the brand in the long run. For now however Apple’s burgeoning fan base seems unfazed by these flaws.
Steve jobs said that the "current crop of 7 inch tablets are going to be DOA- dead on arrival. However since the departure of Steve jobs Apple have released a new tablet called the i pad mini because other companies like Amazon and Google were selling 7 inch tablets and making large profits. The iPad mini thin and light, the iPad mini is the perfect size for holding in one hand. The iPad mini also fits comfortably in the pocket of a coat or a handbag. prices starting at £269 for the GB.
public apologies and face flak.
