Sigh, sad part is she most likely was fired, regardless of what they say.

That's cool. Instead of a little tag saying 'inspected by #54', you get the picture of the person. I see it as next generation quality control.

This really is nothing special or noteworthy. I work at the BlackBerry plant in Texas, and people get bored sometimes and take pictures, sometimes they accidentally forget to delete them. If the QA catches it, it's nothing more than a slap on the wrist, otherwise some lucky consumer gets pics of the factory worker that packaged his phone.

So the factory worker forgot to delete the pictures from the phone. Big deal. They're doing their job to make sure everything works as part of QC. So she should not be fired for it, she did her job. Just forgot one lousy step of deleting the pictures. We're human, we all make mistakes once in awhile.

In way it's actually pretty cool to see who worked on your phone instead of some number.

Of course they're using PCs... she works for foxconn not apple. Why would they be using macs in a production environment anyways? Macs are for graphic designers, and dumb people that like to ogle at flashy tech.

You people really think that is part of the QA test? Why the FOOOK would she be smiling then?? After iPhone picture test 9000000 you would think they were get bored and not smile??? Makes me think it is NOT a test of the camera. Also, why ON EARTH would the target of the pic be fired and not the idiot taking the pics? This article is for short bus riders.
