Foxconn just increased the compensation for their worker that killed himself as a result of possible beatings and interrogations over a lost iPhone.

Even if you don't know Foxconn's name, you know the products they produce. Major, beloved hardware brands like Apple and Nintendo rely on their assembly lines to make some of the most coveted gadgets in the world.

The NYT has more on the death of Sun Danyong, the Foxconn worker who apparently committed suicide after an iPhone prototype went missing. As compensation, his family has been paid about $44,000, and his girlfriend received an Apple laptop.

The death of the guardian of Foxconn's iPhone prototype is a tragedy. But deep down, gadgethounds are wondering where the phone is now. So far, none of us know where, so we're left to our imaginations.

Chinese newspapers have been piecing together Foxconn worker Sun Danyong's final hours, and claim to have recovered his final text message to his girlfriend, sent two hours before he died. It's clear something horrible was happening to him:

The New Yorker reports Chinese paper Southern Daily claims they've seen surveillance footage of Sun Danyong's interrogation by Foxconn, which show that he wasn't locked up or tortured. It also says that Sun told Foxconn to search his house.

Whatever role iPhone builder Foxconn played in 25-year-old Sun Danyong's death after a prototype iPhone he was entrusted with went missing, they will likely not pay the highest of prices: Losing Apple's business.

Foxconn, otherwise known as the company involved in the iPhone suicide, supposedly just had their CEO fingered by the IRS for tax evasion. Up to $1.49 billion worth. But it's not so simple.

Last week, a 25-year-old communications worker died in an "apparent suicide" after losing track of a prototype iPhone built by Foxconn, his employer, for one of the most secretive companies in technology. It was only a matter of time.

Let's step back from the iPhone leak suicide for a minute and just think about the basics of what happened. A phone was lost. A guy was tortured. A guy killed himself or something. Over a fucking phone.
