Too bad, they don’t actually make their gadgets here.

Basically, Apple is a huge info-mercial.

Apple is a very successful example of American capitalism, coupled with outstanding technical creativity. Capitalism has a pretty good name on this forum, I've heard. They're doing a great job of returning value on their stockholders' investment. That's also considered good here.

Almost no major electronics manufacturer can afford to assemble hardware product stateside. At least Apple does their designs stateside (they're not outsourcing the majority of their engineering, like many other high-tech firms).

So you don't like Apple, or their products? Fine, don't buy 'em. Done. Wasn't that easy?
