<p>Apple approves then rejects controversial iPhone game<br />
The notoriously strict application gatekeepers at Apple appeared to let their guard down on Tuesday when they approved a game called Phone Story for download on the firm&#39;s ever growing App Store.<br />
However, the dozy staff should have looked closer, as the game is a none-to-subtle dig at the way smartphone factory workers are exploited in less well-off nations.<br />
One level of the game involves the player trying to catch workers attempting to commit suicide, a reference to the fact that several staff at Foxconn, Apple&#39;s notorious manufacturing supplier, have done just that.</p>

<p>Phone Story, which follows the true story of the manufacture and distribution of iDevices, from child labor and low-wage overseas production to poisonings and suicides and more.<br />
Phone Story is still available on the Android Market and will likely continue to exist there.
