A very few people have signed on online petition that they hope will pressure Apple to release an “ethical” iPhone 5–which would be the next generation of the smartphone. “Ethical” probably means not made in China, or, if made in China, made by well-treated, well-paid workers.

A new online petition is demanding that Apple clean up its act overseas in time to make its next iPhone “the first ethical iPhone.” Watchdog group SumOfUs last week put up a petition asking Apple to “make the iPhone 5 ethically,” referring to the company’s use of overseas manufacturing from companies such as Foxconn, which have recently come under fire for their working conditions and practices.
35,000 people signed the petition in the first 24 hours it was available. Apple sold 37 million iPhones last quarter
