Today I was reading Apples Supplier Responsibility and saw this masterpiece of visual lies!

The caption underneath the figure says

“As of December 2009, Apple has audited 190 facilities located in  China, the Czech Republic,….”

Maybe suggesting they’re trying to show the combined total, with a yearly split? Whatever the intention was, the chart is poor, here’s what it might have looked like (not even stacked)

Which, I think, does show a slightly different story to the first chart. I’m not sure why the colours are different either, and I can live with out the roundness, here’s what I would have done….(I would even of gone back and added the “s”!)

So there you go, even the mighty Apple get it wrong sometimes… even if it is deliberately on purpose ;-).
