Automate more of the manufacturing process or send those jobs to companies with higher labor standards.

Ah - but that’s funny isn’t it? Some countries actually require local manufacturing as a condition for market access. So they don’t exactly have a free hand here. And Wistron is a fairly well known name and should have been a reliable partner in this enterprise with Apple.

What if such companies don’t exist in India?

Then they can choose to take the hit and don't serve that market.

But Apple sells in China despite violating their policies regarding privacy, so their principles are already soft.
