Yes, it absolutely matters where products are made and it matters even more what sort of oversight and accountability is in place. You mentioned clothing and here it maybe matters even more than with higher-end technology devices where a certain amount of skilled labour is required, but even here certain items like headsets, speakers and other mass-produced items we here in the west are buying and discarding whenever we don't like them any more or see something we like better affect the quality of life of the people in the countries where they are made. We all want cheap, cheap and, even better, cheaper, big corporations like Walmart, Target and others are happy to supply all this cheap stuff and they are looking where they can make it cheapest; I mean, who cares if the cool shirt was made by an 8-year old who toils in a sweat shop for 12 hours a day and gets paid 25 cents a day for the effort.

Hi, Look does it really matter where devices are made? Cloths are made in Asian countries also, And if we start complaining where these devices are made And the creation locations change then that means people in those initial countries lose jobs, Prices go up for the devices, Everyone needs to live and these devices being created in china gives the Chinese a chance to earn and live. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Laury, Shawnese (LEO) Sent: Tuesday, 5 May 2020 4:17 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Phones manufactured. I totally agree. Prior to becoming an iPhone user I would have to purchase an external software to download to my phone so that I could then only have access to some of the phone's features. That software was almost $300. This was $300 after first having purchased the phone. Now my iPhone comes equipped right from the box with what I need to operate it independent of any external software or add-ons. This has changed my life and has allowed me to do so much independently and now I don't have to ask for assistance from someone else to get things done. Yes, there will be glitches but I can live through them. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Monday, May 4, 2020 11:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Phones manufactured. CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to ab...@michigan.gov Honestly, I personally could care less where my iPhone was made. All I know is how much easier my life has become since I purchased and learned to use my iPhone. It is so much fun to be able to not only make phone calls to do things like order pizza which I did a few hours ago, but to also listen to books, send text messages, and listen to OTR shows, listen to music, and to read Ebooks. I know people are concerned because of the Virus, but that isn't a good enough reason to give up your iPhone.
