the cost of an iPhone is the total of parts and labour, and I suggest is
a minuscule percentage of the price you and I pay. The cumulative
dollars between manufacture, delivery, and storefront comprise the total
of company expenses, and the remainder enriches the shareholders, who
take home obscene profits.
so, what's wrong with this picture. You could still have your iPhone,
presumably at the same price point, if the manufacturing was done
domestically by well-paid fellow citizens and the shareholders would
still, I'm certain, smile all the way to the bank. Apple is not the
enemy, the Corporation only does what it shareholders tell it to do.
Capitalism is about seizing opportunity, and clearly, the opportunity is
our obsession with Apple products which is carefully nurtured every day.
This schema really needs a rethink on behalf of North American working
people, or our future may be altered forever.

Hey andy,
Welcome to the real world,
Manufacturing of these types of things is done in countrys such as
China due to the lower costs of living and salarys paid to the workers.
This is why countries like the UsA don’t build cars anymore as it has
gotten to cheap to build them in other countries,
Mind you I’d rather have something from Motor city and makes the noise
of a real car as well as is structurally tough when you run in to someone,
Rather than one of the tin foil cars you get from say japan that you
probably can’t hear.
And also apple products,
I think they use Chinese children
Who have very little fingers
So they can get in to the very tight spaces in those iPhones etc to
put the very little screws in.

i just received an Email update from UPS telling me that they will
arrive tomorrow. When I examined the tracking details, I saw that
they were shipped from China. That's the one thing that bothers me
about Apple, mainly manufacturing their products in China rather than
here in the U. S.
