Chinese City Where The iPhone Is Made Will House 42 Million Chinese
If you think that the iPhone is produced by mixing pixie dust and glitter in a magical cauldron, think again. Apple has their iPhones manufactured in a factory in Shenzhen, which is in the Pearl River Delta . In layman’s terms, Apple products are made in China. People have long debated on whether or not it is ethical to produce expensive electronics by way of cheap labor, but the people of Shenzhen will soon have something to celebrate about. As Apple is one of the most profitable companies in the world, the owners of the Foxconn factory, where Apple, Sony and Dell products are made, have been prosperous beyond their wildest dreams. Because of this, China is now planning to expand the Pearl River Delta and surrounding cities into a real life ‘land of milk and honey.’ The expansion of the area will take about six years, and once complete 42 million Chinese citizens will have a new address. The place where the iPhone is made will soon become a bustling super-city, with trains, planes and automobiles connecting this technological hub to the rest of the country.
Shanghai and Hong Kong are two of the most expensive cities in the world, but after Shenzhen’s makeover is complete it may just surpass them. Don’t expect to get access to cheaper iPhones in the future just because Shenzhen is being expanded. However, if you are planning on taking a trip to China in the next 10 years you might be able to apply for a job at the acclaimed Foxconn factory so that you can get a discount.
