An iPhone App Reflects on Foxconn Suicide Cluster

The Foxconn suicide mess was unforgettable, the incident uncovered the dark side of Apple products and raise many voices in the society. However, merely complaining loudly, Phone Story decided to give you a chance to help those workers by purchasing their app. By all means, this is a non-profitable app, the company takes your money directly to workers’ organizations. As you can see the scene shot on the left, it captures the scene of Foxconn workers’ suicide, and Apple considered to pull down the app due to the amount of violence that was involved. One more pic after the break to show you their non-profiting business model.

This is what the company official site noted:

Phone Story is a game for smartphone devices that attempts to provoke a critical reflection on its own technological platform. Under the shiny surface of our electronic gadgets, behind its polished interface, hides the product of a troubling supply chain that stretches across the globe. Phone Story represents this process with four educational games that make the player symbolically complicit in coltan extraction in Congo, outsourced labor in China, e-waste in Pakistan and gadget consumerism in the West.

Keep Phone Story on your device as a reminder of your impact. All of the revenues raised go directly to workers’ organizations and other non-profits that are working to stop the horrors represented in the game.

The company had clearly indicated how your money will benefit the workers.
