I won’t buy Apple products.
Your posting history tells me you’re just stirring the pot.
The box they pack them in, but then the packing is probably done by illegals.
Most of all the software is done in the U.S.. Supposedly most of the circuit design was done here but not as much as before. Some ICs may be made in America. Some of the IC fabrication factory/foundry equipment is still made in America.
A lot was all in Calif but it keeps being driven out. Semiconductor manufacturing “ain’t” as clean as people think.
Very few things are manufactured here. That isn’t Apple’s fault. It’s our government’s fault. And I am NO Apple fanboy for sure.
As long as the product performs as advertised ... who cares? We live in a Global economy ... cars with foreign names, and foreign sponsors are made in the US. Products like batteries are made in China and other countries and are sold in the US and nobody cares.
I don’t care were a product is produced, as long as it works and sells at a reasonable price.
Yes it is. Foxconn (Taiwanese company with all factories in Guangzhou, China) and their supply chain in China provide all the parts.
Of course, they’re still a bit-player in the phone market so they don’t have the big, established manufacturing base of the bigger players.
I think the PR is all produced stateside.
I couldn't care less about it.
But Apple products are “Designed By Apple in Cupertino”....lol
Apple is an American Company with products (like many other companies) are made overseas for manufacturing costs. Microsoft does the SAME thing.
A better question is, Is the United States (since Nov 2008) an American country?
Late to the party? This is common knowledge.
It pays taxes based on being here.
Apple is no different from any other company. Nobody actually makes things in America anymore, ESPECIALLY electronics. Even Intel is slowly building more production capacity outside of the US.
Apple has “designed in California” on their products, but that means squat to me.
Well, when Agog meets Gog you know the End Times are nigh!
So you’ll need some Grog!

Does it matter any more? The Boeing 777 and 787 are made up of parts from all over the world. Its cheaper to build things overseas. Blame the unions. Ironically, lots of Airbus parts are made in the USA
PLEASE NOTE, if you post a thread on APPLE, iPHONES, iPAD, or Macs, and wish to notify the Apple/Mac,iPhone,iPad list, please have the courtesy to Ping me, so that I may ping the list. Certain anti-Apple persons, notably, for-q-clinton, PugetSoundSoldier, and a few others are deliberately NOT pinging me to their negative, anti-Apple threads... for reasons of their own.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Good for Apple. Doing otherwise would be a waste of capital which would have been better spent growing the economy somewhere else. Read up on comparative advantage.
