Apple is under fire from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for allegedly using minerals mined by children in conflict zones for their products like iPhones. The DRC claims these "conflict minerals" are smuggled into the global supply chain and could be ending up in Apple devices. While Apple insists on ethical sourcing, the DRC argues they lack proof. This raises questions about consumer trust and potential boycotts if Apple products are linked to child labor.
