Apple opens talks about suppliers' 'pollution'
BEIJING - Even though Ma Danni has wanted an iPhone for quite some time, she says she now plans to postpone that long-planned purchase.
The reason for her hesitation? She recently learned that the device, produced by the technology giant Apple Inc, is made from components coming from suppliers suspected of releasing large amounts of pollutants.
"It's hard for me to give up the fancy designs and functions of Apple products," said the 34-year-old Beijing resident. "But I'm going to give the company some time for it to repair the harm it has done to the environment before I buy an Apple product."
