The Reuters report does n’t specify how much the improvements will cost , or what the split between Foxconn and Apple will be .

Even though the Chinese companionship invent theatrical role and devices for many of the other enceinte electronics companies , Apple ’s the one that gets clobbered when poor working conditions hail out . So while it shoulder a disproportionate amount of the blame , it ’s gracious to see Apple also taking on a large share of the duty — since it ’s got a disproportionate amount of the cash , too .
