AAPL $$$$ More trouble for AAPL...

The BBC's "Panorama" show has aired a brutal documentary about Apple that makes two main claims:

That Apple sources the tin for its iPhones from mud pits in Indonesia where children work, risking frequent mudslides that frequently claim lives.
That work inside its Chinese iPhone factories is so grueling that workers fall asleep on the factory line.
Apple told the BBC it would investigate the claims.

The BBC sent three teams of undercover workers into various Chinese factories and raw-materials suppliers to get its video footage. It's not clear which specific factories the BBC entered.

Ralph Nader is quoted in the documentary as saying "the conditions of work are totally physically intolerable."

Fourteen workers killed themselves at Apple's Foxconn factory, the BBC reports.
