Hi! I Made Your iPhone!

Posted by Alex in Gadget on August 24, 2008 at 3:10 pm


When Mac Rumors forum user markm49uk turned on his brand new Apple iPhone 3G, he found a little "surprise": some photos of a factory worker that assembled it!

Looked like someone at the production line was having a bit of fun (they’re probably sooo fired!): Link - via Gizmodo

    Ahaha, I can’t believe I read that entire thread. Apparently the news has spread to China already.

    I think it is kind of cute. Sort of the modern version of the old inspector slips you found in pants pockets telling you who checked them before they went to the store.

    And if nothing else at least she was cute. Couldn’t you just pinch those cheeks. AWWW

    I think it’s neat! I’d like to get a phone with that type of picture on it. As long as it’s SFW and all that jazz.

    She is so cute. You have to have some fun at work.

    I wish she included her salary with it as well. Any guesses?

    I dunno. Does unemployment pay much over there? Cause she is so fired.

    I certainly hope she wasn’t fired because that’s actually a pretty neat idea. Pictures from and of the factory would give the consumer a kind of inside look at the making of the super high-tech gadget in their hands. Plus it would be a kind of connecting medium between two countries.
    Plus she’s so cute!

    This is actually a very good idea, marketing-wise. Then the product tells you a much more personal story of its origin.

    Fired? Why? She didn’t take the pictue herself..

    It’s perhaps the modern counterpart to the rafters in houses where the carpenters sometimes wrote their names (or still does it?).

    I agree with Heather and Lasse that it’s a good idea. But it doesn’t have to be mandatory!

    #1: Someone on the thread questioned if she is underage. Maybe she is also a gymnast and she is really 16.

    #2: Are we sure this is for real? It makes for a great viral ad campaign.

    #3: If it isn’t for real, then I’m betting that she isn’t really the girl that works at that workstation. They probably hired a model because the real girl had buck teeth, even though the real girl is a lot better at putting an iPhone together.

    Cool idea. It’s a nice way to realize that a person did infact create that product.
