According to a recent report from the Financial Times, Apple's supplier Foxconn has been employing students to illegally work overtime & help assemble the iPhone X. The circumstance became public when six students from Zhengzhou Urban Rail Transit School told that they were "forced" to work at the facility to complete internship requirements.
Apple has since then confirmed the news and said that it took action once it discovered the students were working overtime. The statement said, "During the course of a recent audit, we discovered instances of student interns working overtime at a supplier facility in China. We've confirmed the students worked voluntarily, were compensated and provided benefits, but they should not have been allowed to work overtime. A team of specialists is on-site at the facility working with the management on systems to ensure the appropriate standards are adhered to."
