                    [deleted post]I see you were dropped right after birth... Pointing out entire manufacturing in Asia has human rights problem and should be treated accordingly is somehow me defending Apple. The lengths your dense mind goes to justify hating on Apple (and me) specifically is just astounding.

                        It doesn’t matter which brand , but the workforce is not the company brand , they are living breathing people, regardless of ethnicity, place of birth , religion, race , etc …. They are the people that put your shiny new gadget in your selfish greedy hands

                          Shame on this third class company which has su!cide nets.
