Apple factory in China

Onthebottom, be happy you are funding this. I for one could never even look at apple the same way again. They rip off everyone, including their final customers.

Anybody who was not a simple minded anti business loser knows this,...

There is no shortage as you can see ....

If I phones were made in North America they would cost $2 grand.

Don't they already?

Nope...CNN did an article on this. They could be and would be the same selling price. The cost is the only difference. About $100-150 more in cost.

Fuck apple.

Really! Do you actually believe everything or anything CNN comes up with?

Anyway, Apple is not a charity. A 100-150$ price difference in production would make a huge difference in profits. So no chance they would ever consider making them in the US, unless US wages drop to Chinese levels.

I read some other comments in other sites. Two pretty common comments there are :

1) relative to other factories in China, Apple's condition is already much better than others.

2) in any competitive industry around the world people are working long hours and like a slave anyway. I for one can't count how many 16 hour day I did in my job. True I got paid better but other than that a lot of us don't feel the respect and appreciation from our employers anyway.
