Hmph. Even here in the imperial core, it was big news. 76.69.87.99 ( talk) 17:03, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
I am trying to figure out what's the best way to sort/mix/match information between Criticism of Apple Inc.#Labor practices and Apple worker organizations#Foxconn Trade Union and welcome copy editing on either articles. The issues are complex, involving multiple firms across multiple years. ~ Shushugah (he/him • talk) 23:45, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Like all Criticism articles for corporations, this page just got filled with huge amounts of content, a large amount of undue cruft, and ended up becoming very unappealing to read. I know editors want to be thorough, to "hold these companies to account", but these articles always become so poorly-organized and unwieldy that no one wants to read them; and they require so much effort to "fix" that no one wants to fix them. Again, that's a common problem with all Criticism of [CORP] articles. One-sided articles don't "hold corporations to acccount", they just end up as "dump-alls" that no one reads, and we can do better.

I think DFlhb ( talk) did a great job editing this article as it has far improved from where it started. As mentioned by Dflhb, "Corporate Practices" can talk about the positive and negative; with the original article being a laundry list criticism. Perhaps, the article may be more of an essay because there are a wide variety of topics that can be selected for inclusion. The post above speaks to articles for litigation and relationships with China. and other topics. Can the concern regarding f this article being an essay be considered?

Foxconn/HonHai is a very large contract manufacturer (CM) for Apple, but hardly the only one. Compal, Quanta, Wistron, and Pegatron, which are important first tier Taiwan-based CMs that serve several tech companies, manufacture many Apple products.
This article doesn't get into component suppliers to these CMs. While coverage of labor problems at Foxconn/HonHai is important, that should be a separate article or a "Controversies" section of a supply chain article. Apple's supply chain is strategically significant and deserves better coverage. Zigurd~enwiki ( talk) 20:38, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
The various criticism of Apple redirects target here. Through a series of page moves the page went from "Criticism of Apple Inc." to "Practices of Apple Inc." to "Apple supply chain." The history is preserved on this page. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 16:21, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
