Apple confirms death of iPhone worker in China

[I was going to post this with the title “Tortured iPhone Worker Commits Suicide”][link], but then I realized I don’t work for TechCrunch. That seems to be what happened, though:

>According to various Chinese media reports, the worker at Chinese manufacturer Foxconn committed suicide last week after a fourth-generation iPhone prototype for which he was responsible went missing.

Word is that the worker was then tortured by Foxconn security, which led him to snap and take a leap off the building. If this is true, Apple needs to step up and tell Foxconn to fuck off.

*Update:* [Fake Steve says it’s fucked over there, and we all knew that already][fake]. He’s basically right.
