Sounds like it's been confirmed after about a month's worth of investigating (story first broke last month). Guess all of those Apple subcontractor factory audit procedures still need some "polishing" up. Interesting that touchscreens built for Nokia at the same facility DON'T have any of the n-hexane problems that iPhone panels do. I suppose being a bit player compared to the iPhone DOES have an occasional advantage, especially when it comes to wrongful death claims.
