Better to buy Apple stock than an iPhone, obviously.

Apple has been persecuted, already, for the last 30 years, with all these idiotic reporters saying it’s going out of business any minute! ... LOL ...

All of that chinese labor is really paying off.
And everyone wonders why the south was so pissed of when slavery was abolished.
Unfortunately for the US, we are fast equipping the the chinese to be our new slave masters, and when they come for US, we will not be able to fight them off.
Enjoy all of the cheap imports while you can, because it won’t last.

You think those other competing manufactures are NOT using equally cheap labor?
I’ll agree with your conclusion, but disagree about its relevance to this thread.

It really doesn’t matter where it’s made when everything is done by robots. The money is going to corporate workers for management, design, etc., with a trickle going to those few at the manufacturing facility doing unskilled labor.

I’m looking for any facts coming to a contrary conclusion. Indeed does look like the rest of the industry is barely keeping afloat, with Samsung doing best only because it’s learning from building the key components for Apple.
Simply observing facts doesn’t warrant the indicated ad-hominem non-sequitur.

Obviously it depends on the consumer. My buddy has been an apple person forever. He thought I was nuts to get my LG G3. Interestingly, we have fewer problems with our phones than he has with his. But he does run a LOT of software on his. I use my computer for most of that stuff, though I live by that thing on my commute.

Apple’s at a point where they could outright destroy all competition by GIVING AWAY their products for a year or so, and still survive with cash in the bank.

Not a non-sequieur if you understand it.
If not, plenty of others will.
