That’s nice

Should lead to increased apple profits, maybe? Actually don’t know. Foxconn slave camps are very cheap, even with the nets installed to catch the suiciding child workers.

Can’t see Apple doing it if they don’t get any financial benefit from it

China isn’t the dependable partner it used to be. Basing your entire supply chain in China introduces too much risk. Apple has been sourcing production to other countries for a while.

They probably got a few tax breaks from it

Probably mostly automated

The nets aren’t to save the ones jumping but to keep them from smashing anyone else when they hit. Sad but true: sometimes suicides from a great height strike and kill someone else walking by.
