Isn’t it amazing how many people who have never used an Apple product in their life have come onto this thread to share their absolute sure knowledge of what they are certain you cannot do on any Apple devices to people who are doing those very things on their Apple devices every day. . . and then argue with the Apple users the the Apple device users are absolutely wrong?

It would be better for the USA if Apple made all it’s products in the USA.

There is no way Apple charges the same price for an iphone in the third world as it does oi the first world market. I see third worlders universally using hand held smart phones. The citizens of the USA are subsidizing the Apple customers in the third word, in that sense Apple is acting like an NGO. The price is really a global tax.

Of course it is. People still feel the need to vent off their steam at something or someone though, because there is an internet where that is easy to do. Sigh. At this point, I really don’t care for the rantings on the internet all that much anymore. How can I? If the ipod touch works just fine, why should I be frustrated at all?

You love to make assumptions to slam Apple don't you. Actually, the price of the Apple iPhone is HIGHER in most of those countries due to tariffs imposed on the import of the iPhone by their governments. So much for your ignorant assumptions. Your delusional Apple Hate Brigade assumptions makes you post ignorant claims without evidence so you can make idiotic Trolling posts such as this one to imply that American buyers are "subsidizing" third world Apple product buyers. Keep pulling your facturds out of your nether orifice, they are, if anything, quite amusing and easy to refute, even though they smell horrid.

The fact is the USA would be better off if its citizens manufactured their own products universally.
