They probably check one out of every X units, to see how the factory line is doing.
My favorite thing is when people talk about those reports of parts cost, and they say that labor must be added in.
At the going China electronics factory rate of $4 an hour, labor is virtually nothing. Even if each worker snapped together just eight phones an hour, that's only 50 cents per device.
I'm guessing there's more to making iPhones then just snapping them together...![]()

Number 2 is probably the most interesting, as you can see writing on some iPhones, covered in plastic. Number 3 must be a Chinese factory worker's hand!

You're FAMOUS!!!!
Ok I HAD to laugh at this from the comments section of the Gizmodo.com entry:
iPhones aren't "manufactured"; they are hatched out of magical clear plastic egg crates that are laid by Jobs' own pet dragons...
Jobs' himself then touches each and every one to give it the spark of life, and finally each and every iPhone is temporarily given to a family of unicorns to be raised until it is mature and ready to be delivered to some pretentious douche-bag.
