While the BBC maintained that the experiences of its reporters showed that labor violations were continuing since 2010, Apple publicly disagreed with the BBC and stated: "We are aware of no other company doing as much as Apple to ensure fair and safe working conditions".
Meski BBC menegaskan bahwa liputan wartawannya menunjukkan bahwa pelanggaran aturan kerja terus berlanjut sejak 2010, Apple membantah BBC dan menyatakan: "Bagi kami tidak ada perusahaan selain Apple yang berusaha keras menjamin kondisi kerja layak dan aman".
