In an audit of supply chain partners, Apple found increased labor violations in 2017
Each year, Apple releases a report called the Supplier Responsibility Progress Report detailing its audits of the labor practices of its suppliers around the world. Apple reports violations it finds at various categories of severity and gives its suppliers ratings based on how they treat their workers. The 12th annual report was released this week, and in it, Apple says it found more violations than it did last year, at least in part because of new suppliers and partners added to the supply chain. Out of 757 suppliers included in the audit across 30 countries, 197 were being audited for the first time. Apple found twice as many "core violations" in 2017 as it did in the previous year. Core violations are those that Apple "considers the most serious breaches of compliance" and for which it claims to have "zero tolerance."

Supply chain makes claim that Apple is already planning to ditch the iPhone X notch in fall 2019 releases

Ideas floated by the publication including drilling holes into OLED panels, or using so-called "Black Matrix" areas within the displays themselves. Other than the vague "industries," ETNews didn't name sources, or particular manufacturers that were working on the notch-free 2019 iPhone. As such, and given the timetable between now and the fall 2019 releases, it seems probable that the publication, or its sources, are making an educated guess at Apple's future intentions regarding a true all-screen iPhone. At present, the technology does not seem to exist to eradicate the notch entirely, and have an edge-to-edge screen. … [Read more...] about Supply chain makes claim that Apple is already planning to ditch the iPhone X notch in fall 2019 releases
