Keep in mind that it is an American company that these workers are manufacturing products for.
Should we as Americans feel good about ourselves for giving work to overseas workers that is better than their baseline, but still represents shit work that we ourselves would never do?

Keep in mind that the work is not taking place in Cupertino, but rather in places like Longhua. Also keep in mind Apple is a multinational corporation, and that Apple products are sold in places other than the US, and that Apple's international competitors don't pay US wages to manufacture their products.

Yes, as a matter of fact. Because this is the way poor people become not-poor people. Economic growth is the basis for improved living standards.
It's not intrinsically shit work. I have worked in industrial factories. They can be good jobs. Obviously they can be crap jobs as well. All depends on what sort of society you want your children to live in.
