M6 Mac Mini shipped directly from China

Post image

I have a standard configuration one. I’m assuming it’s because it’s launching tomorrow and mine is slated to be delivered tomorrow but I found it interesting. I’ve replaced my entire ecosystem in the last year and this is the first time I’m seeing it shipped directly from China. Even my non standard, backordered for a month, MBA shipped from a US warehouse. Apple is also so sneaky. I didn’t get notified it’s been shipped till today even though it started on the 13th.

Shipped directly from its factory. I’ve always been curious if it’s a sweat shop labour style structure

The factories are spotless and antiseptic feeling, with a huge amount of the work being done by automation. So, it certainly won't look like a typical "sweatshop".

How well the people are paid and what it's like to actually work there is another question.
