Apple sucks, has always sucked, and anyone who ever wasted their labor towards that Ziggurat of western excess deserves all the acid rainfall of western doublethink

FTFY

ETA: Foxconn (I.O.W. the people actually responsible for making Apple products) literally built nets around their factories to prevent their employees from killing themselves by jumping out of the windows. Do with that information what you will.

Notable products manufactured by Foxconn include the BlackBerry,[6] iPad,[7] iPhone, iPod,[8] Kindle,[9] all Nintendo gaming systems since the GameCube, Nintendo DS models, Sega models, Nokia devices, Cisco products, Sony devices (including most PlayStation gaming consoles), Google Pixel devices, Xiaomi devices, every successor to Microsoft's Xbox console,[10] and several CPU sockets, including the TR4 CPU socket on some motherboards. As of 2012, Foxconn factories manufactured an estimated 40% of all consumer electronics sold worldwide.[11]

Foxconn is used by A LOT of companies. While I'm always ready to shit on apple for their double standards, let's not pretend they are the only ones. All those in the quote and many more deserve their share of shitting on.

To be clear, I'm not whatabouting, it's more "yes, and let's have the rest accountable too". I know you're not saying they only produce Apple, but this is overlooked too often

Sounds like they make everything that sucks.
