I don't know if Foxconn is blameless or not, though they solely manufacture the Iphone. But if you look at Newegg.com products listing for Foxconn, they tend to get horrible ratings usually...don't work, quits after a week, month, few months ect...but this not entirely relevant. The Iphone is made to Apples specs. But Foxconn does raise a few issues. Is the Iphone made using Foxconn suppliers, and I remind all that they do get bad ratings for their products mostly, or does Foxconn assemble said Iphone with Apple approved suppliers? Perhaps there's a good question to be answered? But no matter where the parts come from, it's ultimately Apples problem to remedy. It blows my mind that peeps would buy a rubber band from apple to fix what is clearly a faulty product. The Gov. should step in and order Apple to fix it FOC. Prolly would help if congress called Jobs in to testify about why it knowingly is charging it's customers to fix what they know is a problem. If I was an Apple user i'd be utterly outraged by this conduct. But if you value style over functioning phone, then by all means, buy an Iphone!
