“Young Chinese women have small fingers,” the article reads, “and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said.”
Fucking what? Who are these supply chain experts? Did you pull them out of your ass?
This reads like AI. I’ve lost any speck of respect I still had for NYT.
Response from New York Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander:
Our reporting does not make racial or genetic generalizations, but simply cites experts who have experience with the industrial process in U.S. and Chinese factories.
I can point you to the comments of Patrick McGee, author of the new book Apple in China. On a recent podcast appearance, he said “The tasks that often are being done to make iPhones require little fingers. The fact that it’s young Chinese women with little fingers like that actually matters. Apple engineers will talk about this”
Their response is literally “he said it on a podcast,” and his comment on the podcast was the fingers statement plus “Apple engineers talk about this.”
Go suck a railroad spike bud, you might as well have said that foot binding is the reason for good workplace retention, because Apple workers said so.

You still had respect for it? It’s owned by and has been pushing Bezo’s agenda for ages now
Bezos owns the Washington Post not the NYT.
