  • A video provides a rare look inside Foxconn factories in China where iPad and other Apple products are made.
Rob Schmitz, the Shanghai Bureau Chief of Marketplace, is granted rare access by Apple inside the factories of its Chinese supplier Foxconn.

He traces the journey of an iPad as it makes its way through the factory - from testing of gyroscope to the myriad of tests that a display is run through.

What's interesting to note is how much manual intervention is required at each step. If you thought modern electronics are made in giant factories with robotic arms, this one is sure to come across as a surprise.

Amongst the many things revealed in the video is the fact that an average factory worker earns around 700 rupees ($14) a day, which doubles after a couple of years of work.

Towards the latter part of the video, Schmitz also takes a look at the recreation facilities Foxconn has built for its workers.
