Apple has rejected up to 8m iPhones from Foxconn – report

MCV Staff 23rd April 2013 Business News

Apple is believed to have rejected millions of iPhone devices, returning them to manufacturer Foxconn citing quality concerns.

China Businessreports that the US firm rejected between five and eight million iPhone handsets "due to appearance of substandard or dysfunctional problems."

Whilst it remains unknown which model iPhones were returned, the news is likely to have significant impacts for both companies. The report estimates that Foxconn could take a loss of around $1.6 billion over the issue.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
