Apple doesn't have factories, they outsource their production. Large corporations, whether Apple or Foxconn, will pretty much inevitably do things like this if they perceive a net benefit in it. This is a Chinese company under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government. The Chinese government is in the best position, both morally and practically, to put a stop to these abuses to their own people. How much has Foxconn been fined due to this? How have the people who made and approved this decision been punished? My guess is that the answer is "not at all", and that's where the outrage really ought to be focused.
