iPhone Factory Girl Not Fired

A chinese factory girl whose photos appeared on a brand new iPhone will not be fired, according to a China.org.cn report.

"She is definitely not fired," an unidentified representative from Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen, southern China, told the newspaper Xiandai Kuaibao.

MacRumors forum user markm49uk initially posted finding the photos about a week ago:

It would appear that someone on the production line was having a bit of fun

The "iPhone girl" has yet to be traced; however, someone has created an English-language Web site, iPhonegirl.net, updated with global media reports on her. The site seems to be down at the moment though.
