And each one comes with free spy software. Apple is stupid for building their phones in China. What did they think was going to happen?

When your business focus is being woke, diversity, tolerance, multicultrualism... don’t be surprised if you fall behind a business that doesn’t shackle themselves in the same way.

“Apple is stupid for building their phones in China. What did they think was going to happen?”

They didn’t care. Short term profit outweighs long term viability.

Communists always said that the Capitalists would sell them the rope they would hang the Capitalists with.

You would have to be smoking crack to use an Android phone that was made by a Chinese phone manufacturer. It would simply be easier to send the Chicoms your itinerary, your emails and your banking data.

I do. You made a claim and provided no reference.

Sounds like you were just doing some ‘jackassin.

The cult of Apple was bound to run out of steam eventually. At some point twice as expensive for only marginally better becomes not acceptable. But they sure got the phat cash while they were “cool”.

Apple takes security far more seriously than Google (Android). You might want to do your homework.

I took him to mean the Xiaomi phones, not the iPhones.

Could it be that the Chinese have reverse engineered the iPhone and added their own spyware?

Oh, silly me. They wouldn’t have to reverse engineer anything. They would only have to purchase what they need from Chinese spies working for Apple.

It sounds like you work for Apple.

Yes, Democrats, price does have an effect on sales.

I’m not worried about Apple I’m worried about this Chinese phone that is cheaper than Apple but got all the information China needed to make it by stealing the expertise of Apple.
