China’s Cute iPhone Factory Girl

Posted in China, Cute by Elliott Back on August 24th, 2008.

The following really cute pictures were found on an iPhone shipped to the UK;they’re absolutely adorable! It’s interesting to see the inside of a Chinese iPhone factory, and also to see what kind of people are employed there.

It’s too bad she didn’t leave an address in the phone, then the guy could send her a cute “Thanks for making my iPhone” note! On a more somber note, the girl in question probably makes around 700 RMB a month, and works 15 hour days.

  1. [...] Pics of Chinese factory girl sold with iPhone – Today, 08:03 PM A Chinese factory worker has become an Internet sensation after a picture of her smiling and flashing a peace sign to a co-worker testing an Apple iPhone stayed on the phone that was sold to a man in Britain. Photos of the unidentified, smiling woman were posted on the Apple discussion website MacRumours.com by a customer identified as markm49uk from Kingston-upon-Hull and quickly posted around other sites. Not sure if this is or is not the norm but I just received my brand new iPhone here in the UK and once it had been activated on iTunes I found that the home screen (the screen you can personalize with a photo) already had a photo set against it!!!! he wrote. It would appear that someone on the production line was having a bit of fun – has anyone else found this? Some people voiced concern that the woman could now lose her job while others joked on the website that they were considering returning their phones because they did not come loaded with a photo. I think its a kind of personal touch. It’s nice. Maybe every phone that gets a full quality test should have its tester’s picture taken and left on there. And the working conditions look pretty good, wrote one. Taiwanese company Foxconn assembles the iPhones for Apple in Shenzhen in southern China but calls to the company by Reuters went unanswered.

  2. Hi Netizens and I-Phone Lovers,

    First of all I would like to tell you that this is something of a consequence to the automaton jobs factory workers called “operators” may actually experience.

    We are all but human and maybe prone to error.

    The error lay when the person who took the photo forgot to erase the image from phone memory.

    What the pretty I-Phone girl is wearing is an anti-static clean room wear called a smack gown.

    These so called “operators” come from the simplest of homes seeking good jobs and a good future enduring countless mandatory or voluntary overtime just to deliver the wonders of technology we want to own.

    Sad to say most of these operators would never get to own such very expensive wonders of technology but they pour out their hearts and soul to manufacture for us in exchange for almost close to minimum wages.

    I-Phone girl is highly likely a Q/A person if you would deduce in the picture that the I-Phone is set on a Fixture or a Jig with a data cable exposed.

    Hats off to these wonderful people who do a good job to deliver quality goods.

    I would rather have a world compassionate enough to understand that these things happen as we are all but humans.

    I would rather that she be the next I-Phone “it” girl for asia or for the whole world.

    I would rather have her benefit from this with a college fund since such factory workers may not have access to college education.

    Q/A personnel are keen on details and good with numbers and the I-Phone girl may make it in college with a degree.

    Lastly in Asia, the V sign for the younger generation is a sign of virginity.

    In almost all aspects I-Phone girl is innocent, unassuming, bubbly, charismatic and very friendly.

    Let’s all see to it that she won’t get fired from her job and at least enjoy her worldwide fame.

    For we are all spokes on a wheel rolling with the cogs of industry and economy.

They seem.. wrong. It’s like if a baby were to come out with a photo album of their adventures in the womb. Well, except that babies don’t have built-in cameras, so that analogy doesn’t really work. Still creepy. [...]
