Apple apparently has returned between five and eight million "defective" iPhones to manufacturing partner Foxconn.

That's according to a report from China Business, which has heard from a source at Foxconn that Apple isn't too pleased with the firm at the moment. If the report is true, the Cupertino company has sent back up to eight million defective iPhones to the manufacturer, describing them as "dysfunctional" and "non-compliant".

"It's not the first time that such quality control problems occur," the unnamed source told China Business Journal. "The fast growth and expansion of the production brings huge challenges to the newly promoted and management staff." It's unclear what the problem is exactly. However, knowing Apple's high standards, it could be something as small as a tiny scratch or dead pixel. We've contacted Apple for further information.
