I wonder what expectations are. Presumably in China they've had years to refine their process to get to a low defect rate, I suspect they anticipated some learning curve.
Hard to tell from the article how widespread the issue is. They've been making the SE in India for 5 years so presumably some learning has happened. Is the issue on the new model? This run of parts?

In India, [we] are not running at this pace. "There just isn't a sense of urgency," one Apple engineer remarked.'
it is the unwritten policies that allow this sweatshop/uighur slave labour type exploitation to exist, directly or indirectly and it is 100% intentional.
Hypercapitalism demands high precision, high quality, continuous growth, record profits every year. It takes slavery labour to achieve these simultaneously, and even with slavery labour the end product is not cheap at all.
