    AnonD-940827, 28 Jan 2021Sounds like unhealthy food you eat. And why do we hate them... moreVietnam and India is also part of Asia. Apple is not moving from Asia, but from China only. Also China probably would survive without USA , but would they live as nicely as now?

TSMC, Samsung and other FABS are opening there, at first assembly then slowly as companies realize that they can get labor, natural resources and talent from India at that point China will get sweaty.

But there's always Chinese components in the gadgets, no matter what you buy. Asia would easily survive without US.! The US doesn't even cover 1/3 of the world. Asia does.

                    Vietnam is the country where the Google Pixel is builded. If they make Apple screens like they make G.Pixel screens, then we're going to see a lack of sensitivity on the sides. Cheap is expensive.
