My payday is July 1, and I am going to get a new phone...not an I phone, apple or anything connected to them...
If these phones are made in China, we have children making them, we have cheap parts, and anything else you can think of, and then to come over here and associate with one the biggest traitors to our Country, Paul Ryan, that is a blatant slap in our faces...so Apple, I phone, whatever doesn’t need OUR American Business!!!
My Samsung s4 Active was made in VIETNAM!!!
It get worse!
BacNinh,the main factory for samsung is a suburb of Hanoi!!!
That epicenter of high tech!
Oh well, I did like the Vietnamese people, very friendly.
Yes, there were some very aggressive Nva, that left me with some embedded fragments(still).
If I had just been a bit faster...
Not true. Apple aggressively audits its supply chain for child labor and has actually pulled a $2 billion contract from a supplier who was egregiously violating its contract with Apple by employing underage workers. Apple's contract requires their contractors to PAY for the entire college education of any underage worker found in their employ through age 26. That is a strong dis-incentive for hiring anyone underage. As a result of that aggressive stand in the last fourteen years, there have been fewer than 50 underage workers found among over 1.5 million workers in Apple's supply chain, most of those that were found were using false IDs to get the jobs.
Apple is known for not using "cheap parts" but rather for using high quality components. That is why Apple products have a high re-sale value and last for years. For the rest, you may be right on.
