Aug 21 2008Oh Boy, Oh Boy!: iPhones Now Shipping With Preloaded Pictures Of Cute Factory Workers

Somebody bought an iPhone and found out it it came preloaded with pictures of a cute iPhone factory worker. That's her there! I think this is the just the impetus I needed to finally make the iPhone switch. I hope I get some factory photos too!
UPDATE: Some guy's balls. Lucky me.
Hit the jump to see two more pictures of mysterious factory worker girl.

First!
She'll be fired shortly... and then shot.

Haha!! Guess they thought before the final package was sent they could get in a few pics. Don't blame em though.

Oh, hey, that reminds me. I borrowed your new iPhone for a minute when you left it on your desk.

She reminds me of a Hello Kitty train conductor. She could be hotter, but I'd bone her. My little Hello Kitty train conductor.

This is a friendly reminder that all company correspondence MUST be written in LOLcat format.

hahaha, I was going to say the exact same thing, Lynsey. That's right, manufacturing is all powered by Microsoft. In fact (dare I say it?) I bet the motherboards, chassis, and operating systems are all coded and designed on a PC. It just goes to show you that Micr
12. Popadopolis - August 21, 2008 1:11 PM
oops, sorry about that. My Dell crashed. Anyway, what I was going to say is that Microsoft is the best operating syst

ugh God damn it.

It's a fake! Real asians don't have straight teeth!
15. Krispy Kareem - August 21, 2008 1:18 PM
At least she probably won't be fired. The co-worker who took the photo however...
16. IphonesSuck - August 21, 2008 1:22 PM
she should definitely be beaten for wasting such precious time but i don't think she'll get fired because she's only 12 and probably works for free
17. greg - August 21, 2008 1:26 PM
dude, did I say I love this blog?
I come here everyday and piss myself
@8 you rock
18. boredom - August 21, 2008 1:31 PM
I say fake, everyone knows the camera on the IPone doesn't take pictures that good. And since when did China allow women in the workplace?
19. Huh? - August 21, 2008 1:45 PM
#6 I think you made me piss myself...hope the boss doesnt bother me for the rest of the day.
20. The Kilted Yaksman - August 21, 2008 1:53 PM
Fuckin-A people, this is China we're talking about, so she's probably 12. Pedo-Bear approved! \m/ ^_^ \m/
21. Count Orlock - August 21, 2008 2:06 PM
@20 pedo-bear does indeed approves.

Hasn't anybody learned anything from the Olympics she is not 12 she is "18"
24. Nick - August 21, 2008 2:41 PM
Sooooo, This explains the price cut!
25. Momboelitist - August 21, 2008 2:44 PM

27. mtk - August 21, 2008 3:27 PM
This reminds me of that old fortune cookie phrase, "HELP, I'M BEING HELD CAPTIVE IN A CHINESE BAKERY" Only it's not a joke. She really is Chinese and really is being held captive by Apple. Those twin victory signs are well-known Chinese code for, "I haven't seen the sun in four years."
28. chaosthirteen - August 21, 2008 3:32 PM
We all have made the honest mistake of believing that this is truly the girl that works at the iPhone company, when they have recently released a statement that in the importance of government interest, this is not the picture of the actual factory worker, but someone more "aesthetically pleasing." The will of the people has spoken.

30. El Basto - LOSER - August 21, 2008 4:10 PM
First eh? So, er, why are you second you stupid fucker?
31. eddie - August 21, 2008 4:35 PM
Well, Well, Well. I do believe that goes against their contracts. Those workers might get fired.
32. jaime - August 21, 2008 4:48 PM
a) she's not cute.
b) she should get fired.
33. Sophie - August 21, 2008 5:24 PM

a) She's adorable! How rude!
b) Fired for what? Pissing you off by being so adorable?

China factories are mostly female employees.
She's mostly cute too.
38. Vladeon - August 21, 2008 7:58 PM
At least now if it breaks, you know who to blame. And she's totally Korean, I don't know why everyone assumes she's Chinese.

I think this is a brilliant marketing move. Every iPod should ship with a picture from the person who made it. Maybe even a recording where they tell you that they hope you enjoy your iPod.

Slacking and taking pictures is basically what gets you in trouble.

lolZ she has Asian condoms on her fingers!
43. erichansa - August 22, 2008 7:51 AM
that is a lucky girl. The photo must change her life.
44. Deeplt Troubled - August 22, 2008 10:44 AM
@40 Agreed. Racial humor is the BEST isn't it.
Geekologie writer - please post more stories featuring racially diverse people we can abuse. Let's REALLY get the party started on this blog!
45. Deeplt Troubled - August 22, 2008 10:46 AM
Just kidding. I'm sure you're all lovely people.
46. Momboelitist - August 22, 2008 12:24 PM
@45, unfortunately we are not lovely but I applaud your attempt at seeing us in a positive light.......a$$clown that you are....
You see what I did there?
Actually I have no idea if you're an a$$clown or not, I'm just guessing. A prediction based upon your sensitive nature if you will.

48. Willie - August 22, 2008 3:47 PM
The guy in final packout who is 'actually doing her' (or dreaming about it like the rest of us) wanted to get her pic and email it to himself, but they don't allow cameras in there! He forgot to erase the pics from the iphone or he got caught and beaten is my guess. So how much is a ticket to Beijing? She's probably available now!!
49. Gray - August 22, 2008 7:32 PM
Well let this be a lesson to all those couchetards that told me a child made all those pieces of crap from china. Now I don't have to feel guilty buying that crap that's made in china.
Hmm. I'm feeling a little disappointed.

@49: She is young but not underage, it is legal for a 20s girl to work in any factory in any countries (maybe not Arab countries).
