Anyone with a brain the size of a walnut knows that the prices Apple charges for its products are obscene. Apple could move all of its manufacturing operations to the U. S. and still make a totally acceptable profit. I am old enough to remember when the Japanese auto makers made all their units in Japan. Now every one of them has assembly operations in the states, and they seem to be doing just fine. How did this happen? Apple and all the other phone makers can do likewise. We Americans should challenge all of them to a race. We will buy our phones from the first company to move its operations to the states. Let the games begin. We are such fools.
In what free-market, Capitalistic system is YOU getting to determine what an "acceptable profit" means? Are you on the wrong message board? Your post sounds like something from the DemocrapUnderground...
