                      If you want to keep it nationalistic, then why not gripe against China, India, Vietnam, Thailand and the other countries that manufacture electronics? Why are they trying so hard to attract manufacturers?

                                    Anonymous, 11 Nov 2022nah...its just their trick to increase iphone 14 pro value The new processor and new camera cutout, even as marginal of an improvements as those are, is the draw. The base 14 is just a relabeled 13 save the internal configuration change. And does anyone buy a phone based on reparability? Any repair costs could be covered by the savings getting a i13 instead.

                                    Apple just screwed up their logistics and relied on zero covid China.

                                      This is what happens when the Americans want to exploit cheap work force, and they do not want to produce anything at home when it comes to smart phones, monitors, and PC's. Everything is made in China, India and Vietnam. If they can make cars in their home and those are not necessary too expensive, why they can not make Iphones in their homeland? At least 50% of all the Apple products, or 40%. That is bullshit you need to raise the prices too much because people there doesn't want to work for a lower salary. Man, there are so many people without jobs, you think it would be impossible to find people to work in an Apple factory? Apple is USA's proud company!
                                      So overall it is too bad the number one economy doesn't produce electronics! It just sounds too bad, and they give too much power to other countries, and now they are afraid of the likes of...you know what I mean.

                                        They want to assemble here, not manufacture, because they still sell their phones at hefty prices in India. Greedy company.
