Apple is set to launch their latest 4G version but behind the fascination, at its Taiwan owned factory in Jiangsu Province, during the manufacturing process of the iPhone touchscreen, at least 62 people have been poisoned and hospitalized due to the use of n-Hexane, a toxic chemical used for cleaning the screens.
