Vendor says they can't make profit. Wall-of-texter on HN says they can.. So hard to know who to believe..

Given that Apple has delivered tons of devices into people’s hands for well over a decade and continues to do so, I am going to go with the common sense that Apple’s suppliers must be earning a profit, otherwise they would not be doing charity work for Apple.

> Back in 2020, there was a major riot at its Bangalore plant over underpaid wages, with millions of dollars’ worth of damage done. Both the Indian government and Apple investigated, and both found that Wistron was indeed guilty of serious labor law violations, including underpayment of its workers.

I’m not sure either are a great source to be honest.
