Did the workers who made the physical device but profit from doing so?
Did the designers who designed the phone also not profit from doing so?
Neither of those groups was slave labor.
The surplus value created by the workers should go to those workers. However in reality, most of the value created by the workers is going to capitalists that did not contribute to the making of the product, which communists consider theft.
