Giant fruity cheese grater to be assembled in china
No shit?
Why would anyone think otherwise? What would be the point besides needlessly adding even more to the cost?
drumpf btfo
is the stand made in china or italy?
so they can stamp a green ASSEMBLED IN USA sticker on it
Even with the trade tariffs it's still cheaper to manufacture shit in China. Ha ha the U.S is fucked. Get ready to worship your insect overlords burgers.
India, how else would they profit from such a low price.
subsidies to their assembly plant in texas ran out. no point in sticking around if the government ain't giving them handouts.
it's amazing they put such material into a simple thing like a stand, surprised it isn't 2k like my engine lift is
this.
Pity post op
fuck apple but at least I don't make threads about it
You only need ~30% of a final assembly phase to be in america to have that stamp.
Just make it illegal for them to make stuff in China. EZ PZ.
America saved.
You are welcome.
Every pro grade Mac was made in the US, even the trash can.
based protectionism
Thing costs a gorillion dollars, they have no excuse but greed for a huge margin
>people will unironically champion Chinese manufacturing if it means BTFOing orange man
the person you replied to was obviously joking
I understand that there are many that are not joking and honestly believe that more shit moving to china is somehow a victory because orange man hates it
>make 2k$ phones that can only be sold in the US
Make this man CEO!
What the fuck are you faggots arguing about.
Apple has had:
>Designed in California
>Made/Assembled in China
For ages.
Not on the pro lineup
> Drives up prices for consumers down the line
> Prevents new jobs from being created
> INB4 Protectionism has knockon effects
Not to mention that peotectionism favors nepotism, corruption and makes industries less competetitive in the long run. (exports stagnate)
MACTODDLERS BTFO
>Designed in California by Chink engineers
>Made/Assembled in China
to support American industry and the prosperity of it's peoples?
Here's what's going to happen: Chinks working for Apple are going to open two factories. The one in the front that makes official Apple PCs for Appletards for $6000 ($7500 after Trump tariffs). And a camouflaged factory in the back that makes the same PC with the same parts for Chinese customers for $400.

Fuck America 2bch
Thanks Obama
This is how the luxury handbag industry operates.
Pretty much how they all operate.
Most Western companies in China use the same manufacturer in fact, a subcontractor company called Foxconn.
The "brand logo" accounts for much of the pricetag.
