Yes absolutely. They do supply chain all day, every day: in order to keep high quality, they need to be in tight control. They're very, very good at outsourced manufacture or they wouldn't be a US$1T company.

Foxconn was only the first to reach our awareness but it seems there's many other vendors with dubious HR.
