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.

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.
