I was getting ready to say something similar. Foxconn makes so many things for so many electronics, it's likely hard to buy something that doesn't at least have some Foxconn parts.

I would love to see companies using Foxconn as a manufacturer start putting pressure on the company itself to, as you said, improve the lives of the employees. Tech industry is one of those industries where people don't automatically think about poor working conditions (as compared to shoes/clothing, which have a history of sweat-shops etc.).
