You’ll see iPhones, iPads, and MacBook Pro’s being put together manually by workers as there’s virtually no robots or automation, nearly all of the devices are assembled by hand. This means it takes a while to produce each Apple product, and a single iPad takes nearly a week to complete.</p> <p>It’s not exactly a groundbreaking documentary, but if you are an Apple fan and user of Apple products, it’s worth watching. The show is about 15 minutes long and has been embedded below or <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/watch/nightline/SH5584743/VD55173552/nightline-221-apples-chinese-factories-exclusive">you can watch it on ABCNews.com</a>.</p> <p><iframe width="620" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hLuPtMvvwA0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mosuiMILLSXj2fX9a3LB6a5_7cg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mosuiMILLSXj2fX9a3LB6a5_7cg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mosuiMILLSXj2fX9a3LB6a5_7cg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mosuiMILLSXj2fX9a3LB6a5_7cg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=720hfFjJcf4:TvANE3yXEss:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=720hfFjJcf4:TvANE3yXEss:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=720hfFjJcf4:TvANE3yXEss:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=720hfFjJcf4:TvANE3yXEss:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=720hfFjJcf4:TvANE3yXEss:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=720hfFjJcf4:TvANE3yXEss:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=720hfFjJcf4:TvANE3yXEss:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/720hfFjJcf4" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
