Note that the manufacturing expertise is not in the United States. Apple doesn't know how to build, equip, and operate a factory to make iStuff.

Apple has been running on fumes since Steve Jobs died.

Hey Apple, I have new idea. Take an Iphone, remove the phone and camera, leave the bluetooth,and make something that will DO WHAT THE IPOD USED TO DO: Give me recorded music. Heck, your original one came with a stand and a remote control that allowed me to connect it to my stereo. I really don’t give a shi...er...Dorkbama about any more software that purports to “help” me.

It could be made in the US or Canada. No reason it can’t.

I was just today identifying suppliers for a polymer and a Canadian company actually offers it cheaper than do the Chinese.

It's not this. EPA and OSHA regulations have made it next to impossible to set up this type of tech manufacturing in the U.S.

Remember not long ago when we spent billions helping the Taiwanese set up a computer chip plant in Arizona only for them to leave in frustration because of American bureaucratic red tape?

I wonder how much of a kick-back the Biden’s will be getting out of this. Joe was in Vietnam in September to push for an increased partnership with Vietnam.

Peter Zeihan has stated the most exposed US corporation to the CCP is Apple. Moving production to Vietnam reduces that exposure.

Terrific. Sixty thousand US dead and hundreds of thousands wounded so Apple could set up shop there using cheap labor and sell their cr@p stuff here.

It wasn’t so many years ago that every time anyone posted an Apple thread, you could see the hate dripping off the screen, so virulent were the posts.

Things change, in this case for the better.
