I can't agree you more!
Compared to those movie stars, she is natural and simple, that's why she drew worldwide attentions.

By the way I wrote this from China where I have worked for the last 3 years. I visit numerous factories in China that make things from shoes, cell phones, apparel, and various other items shipped to the West.
Do some homework on the slave mentality here in China and you will see I was gentle with my words.
We in the West buy all this crap from China and don't know the abuse the average factory worker deals with. Wal-Mart factories are among the worst I have been in.
Foxxcon and BYD are also hell holes for the workers. They make a majority of our cell phones and components and batteries.
These workers come from the poorer parts of China and are treated like cattle - almost as bad as concentration camp workers.
All to keep the West happy with cheap goods...
The media wished they could see what I have seen in these factories and the stories told to me by the workers there about the cheating of wages, beatings, rapes, and housing conditions.
But when I go to Target I am happy to find that toaster for $9.99...
Amen and to add to that average lifespan said from a co-worker who has family there in the industrial areas ranges in the 30s due to horrible living conditions.
I-Phone Girl should be the "I-Phone it Girl"
Hi Netizens and I-Phone Lovers,
First of all I would like to tell you that this is something of a consequence to the automaton jobs factory workers called operators may actually experience.
We are all but human and maybe prone to error.
The error lay here when the person who took the photo forgot to erase the image from phone memory.
What the pretty I-Phone girl is wearing is an anti-static clean room wear called a smack gown.
These so called operators come from the simplest of homes seeking good jobs and a good future enduring countless mandatory or voluntary overtime just to deliver the wonders of technology we want to own.
Sad to say most of these operators would never get to own such very expensive wonders of technology but they pour out their hearts and soul to manufacture for us in exchange for almost close to minimum wages.
I-Phone girl is highly likely a Q/A person if you would deduce in the picture that the I-Phone is set on a Fixture or a Jig with a data cable exposed.
Hats off to these wonderful people who do a good job to deliver quality goods.
I would rather have a world compassionate enough to understand that these things happen as we are all but humans.
I would rather that she be the next I-Phone it girl for asia or for the whole world.
I would rather have her benefit from this with a college fund since such factory workers may not have access to college education.
Q/A personnel are keen on details and good with numbers and the I-Phone girl may make it in college with a degree.
Lastly in Asia, the V sign for the younger generation is a sign of virginity.
In almost all aspects I-Phone girl is innocent, unassuming, bubbly, charismatic and very friendly.
Lets all see to it that she wont get fired from her job and at least enjoy her worldwide fame.
For we are all spokes on a wheel rolling with the cogs of industry and economy.

I bet apple did that on purpose to show that the work conditions aren't that bad. Smart
Most of these young Chinese girls are about 18 - 20.
Few ever finished high school. None ever went to college. If they did they would not have .25 cent an hour job on an assembly line.
The Chinese factories employ these girls because they are adept at repetitive tasks like standing on a line for 12 hours a day and doing minuscule work. They don't complain because outside these factories - especially Foxconn - are 300 -400 eager young people whose ages are 18 to 20 - waiting for one of these jobs. 90% of these people are girls. The lines outside the factories are present every day...
These factories are a revolving door of inhumanity offer nothing more than quick money and quick burn-out to these people. They don't last very long, usually about 70 days. The companies that we buy our Chinese made stuff from just use up this endless supply of cheap labor and when these people so much as make a peep about anything they are shown the door - usually without their pay.
I have seen first hand their living conditions. Usually 8 to 10 girls a room. Their "beds" are pieces of plywood usually double stacked. Rooms have a light bulb, no electricity, no air conditioning or heating. Most of these housing facilities have a communal bathroom. Conditions are disgusting.
As for the Chinese V sign. Almost every girl I ever took a picture of makes that sign. When they take group photos they usually make it. It has nothing to do with virginity, just a photo trend.

If so, how can apple make sure the person who buy the phone will upload it online?
I believe most of people will do nothing more than a shrug to it.
It was ten years ago.
Nowdays, the working and living conditions are getting much better, esepcially for those big factories.
Labor shortage is the headache for the factory owners, so, they have to raise the wages and improve the conditions.
yes, what your said is more accurate.
I am in China, for FOX, BYD...those big factories, their conditions are much better than before.
You cant see 8-10 girls living in a big room. Beating, rape...these are rumour or special cases.
And that is impossible for that she was just 13-14.
It's possible.
Apple and Fox all are confronting blames of their working treatments.
On the other hand, their conditions are actual as picture showing. I know this because I have been to their factories.
Wow this girl and Mark Mitchell from Hull is a Internet Celeb
I think this is a bit of fun and a nice touch and a great PR for the iphone maybe the next tv ad could be of the worker making the phone and taking a pic. and email herself to in Mark Mitchell MKM Building Supplies in Hull workplace and giving him his phone. and sms her self back to the factory. Great story made me smile. lol

what i didn't expect to see is hordes of idiotic racists trying to make sarcastic remarks at things they probably know nuts about.. just so to make themselves feel better, by trying to convince themselves that someone out there is having a more miserable existence than they do..
come on.. the girl is smiling, because she is feeling happy, even if it was just for that moment... that there was a kodak moment.. and for those who thinks she's what.. 14? 12? you need to get your head out of your personal child abuse fantasy.. that is a young adult chinese female...
and stop crying because you lost the gymnastic gold... wake up, smell the coffee.. and embrace the fact that, somewhere out there, someone else is better than you...
and for the people who empathized, a sincere thank you...
