Hong Kong labour activists say they plan to kick off a worldwide boycott of Apple's newest iPhone after a spate of suicides at a southern Chinese factory that makes the device.
A group of two dozen demonstrators protested outside the Hong Kong office of Taiwan-based Foxconn yesterday, calling on the technology giant to improve working conditions at its giant plant across the border in the city of Shenzhen.
The group said Foxconn - a manufacturer for Apple and other electronics giants - should investigate the suicides, which have reached 10 this year after a 19-year-old employee fell to his death at the factory yesterday.
