Iphone is put together with slave wages. What do they pay a person a day in the Chinese factory $5 a day.
Then it comes here and they slap 100 times that on the price tag? No wonder Apple has 100 billion in cash.
We need jobs back, nobody can tell me that if Apple paid $50 dollars per phone more it would make the price go up that much, it would just be a minor blip in the selling price of the phone. Its called eating some of the cost.
The current wage at the Foxcom iPhone assembly plant is $3.25 an hour. So they get $26 a day plus overtime.
Naturally, everything they buy is much cheaper than here, too.
A passenger car takes about 30 man hours ( industry standard) to build so my estimate it takes 1 man hour in total to build/assemble an iphone. So the phone made in the USA would be about $50.00 more per phone.
