On: iPhone quality standards require 1,200 workers per production line

[hgsgm]

Why would higher quality demand more workers? Higher compexity would.

[rsynnott → hgsgm]

Yeah, I'd assume this is largely _actually_ about complexity. Maybe there is more manual QA, but probably not a _thousand people_ doing manual QA.

More tests/checks require more workers?

[rob74 → plasticchris]

Or maybe both? Higher complexity -> more subcomponents, higher quality standard -> more QA personnel per subcomponent?

[postalrat → plasticchris]

You got it backwards. More workers require more tests and checks.
