This is where most of the materials used to manufacture Apple products come from

  During this day the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), published the specific documentation for the year 2013 through which it provides information about the partners that produce its iDevices, how they are produced, and many other things. Among the information provided by the American company we also find a complete list of material suppliers for the components from which its products are manufactured and in the map above you can see where most of them come from.

  It can be easily observed that Asia is the main source of the majority of materials, in the same region the components are produced or the products are assembled. The problem for Apple is that in all these regions there are enormous problems regarding compliance with labor protection rules, but too few local people are interested in these problems.
