iPhone Factory Girl Not Fired
Posted August 27, 2008 at 11:25am by iClarified
A chinese factory girl whose photos appeared on a brand new iPhone will not be fired, according to a China.org.cn report.
"She is definitely not fired," an unidentified representative from Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen, southern China, told the newspaper Xiandai Kuaibao.
MacRumors forum user markm49uk initially posted finding the photos about a week ago:
Not sure if this is or is not the 'norm' but I just received my brand new iPhone here in the UK and once it had been activated on iTunes I found that the home screen (the screen you can personalise with a photo) already had a photo set against it !!!! It would appear that someone on the production line was having a bit of fun
The "iPhone girl" has yet to be traced; however, someone has created an English-language Web site, iPhonegirl.net, updated with global media reports on her. The site seems to be down at the moment though.
