HONG KONG - Who is the "iPhone Girl"?

Pictures of an Asian factory worker found on a new iPhone sold to a British customer have generated keen discussion on the Internet about her identity — and her fate.

The three pictures, posted on the Apple discussion Web site MacRumors.com, show a young Asian woman working on what appears to be an assembly line for iPhones.

Dressed in a pink striped outfit and hat and wearing white gloves with yellow fingertips, the young woman now known on the Web as the "iPhone Girl" is shown smiling and making victory signs as she poses next to an iPhone.

The MacRumors.com user who posted the photos last week, identified as only "markm49uk" from Kingston-upon-Hull, England, said in a posting that one of the pictures showed up on a new 3G iPhone when the iTunes program was launched.

News reports say the woman may work at a factory run by an Apple contractor, Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Group, in the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen.

Calls to Foxconn spokesman Edmund Ding went unanswered Wednesday. Ding also didn't immediately respond to an e-mail from The Associated Press seeking comment.

But the South China Morning Post on Wednesday quoted another Foxconn spokesman, Liu Kun, as confirming that the young woman in the pictures works for Foxconn.

Liu said workers testing the device took the pictures and may have forgotten to delete them, the Post reported.

Dubbing the mystery worker "China's prettiest factory girl," China's Southern Metropolitan Daily on Tuesday quoted an unidentified Foxconn official as saying the woman was not fired.

Apple publicist Jill Tan said the company had no comment.

She is cute. But it was confirmed that she still has the job and was not fired. Oh heck, you got the same article I saw.

 

I just threw that in there that she might be fired because I saw someone else say that, I thought it might give more to talk about. I didn't think she would get fired for testing.

 

It looks like they are using PCs at an Apple factory.

Maybe I'm missing something, but so? It's a few pictures of a girl working in a factory. If it was her being decapitated or someone was watching horse porn in the background, then that's news-worthy. But they do test 1 of every X iPhones made for Q.A., and they just forgot to delete.

 

I wouldn't care if I bought an iPhone and there were pictures on it already. Maybe if they were outside, I'd do something, but that phone's never been outside of the factory.

Eh i wouldn't care if i got a phone that had a couple pictures on it, i mean how hard is it to delete them.. maybe they were just testing the camera on it, cause they were having problems, who knows!! but i don't' see what the big deal is about 3 pictures on a phone!!

 

plus i think she looks a little young to be working in a factory, but im sure that country does not have labor laws!

Here people go about relating to themselves. OMG of course you can delete them, but it's interesting since the company didn't want to say anything about it, and just the fact that she was in the phone was pretty interesting. The guy that bought it didn't care, he just thought it was weird.

 

She looks young, but she might not be, people have thought I was 17, when I am 25.

To be honest, most of Asians look much younger than they actually are, because we're cool like that. I however, seem to be the exception to the rule, as everyone believes I'm older than I am.

 

And I still don't get how this is news worthy...

"China's prettiest factory girl". Man she is not cute at all.

 

How can you say that? She is really pretty....

If I found picture of a Jap chick giving the peace sign on my phone I'd notify the Army.And how do we know she's a girl there always the possible of a he-she always.

 

First of all she is Chinese, second of all it Japanese not Jap, And third maybe you just want her to be a he-she....

Us Asian people age really well. ^_^

 

I agree.....
