When you consider

that the stats show a very low number of suicides, one wonders if he is using the concern over sweatshops and suicide to grab people's attention.

1 Million Workers. 90 Million iPhones. 17 Suicides. Who’s to Blame?

I don't think you can blame your iPhone. There's a lot of factors that go into an issue like this, and it would be too simplistic to say that one thing causes another so readily. However, like articles everywhere, one person makes statements in the first comment on the article that effectively hijacks the discussion on the article into a discussion on his comments. Ah, the intertubes!
