Students Working 11-Hour-Days to Assemble iPhones: Report

The students, ages 17 to 19, say their school has been "forc[ing]" them to work at the factory in Zhengzhou, China, that is run by Foxconn since September and that they regularly work 11-hour days putting together as many as 1,200 iPhone X cameras each day.
