I don't really believe these articles, not because they never cite a sources and are built from rumours, nor because they are historically wrong, but simply because their own story timeline doesn't make sense and they seemingly have no idea how mass production works.

From the article:

"As of early fall, it was clearer than ever that production problems meant Apple Inc. wouldn’t have enough iPhone Xs in time for the holidays."

So according to the article Apple knew months ago that there were production issues, but did nothing about that and then only chose to dial back the spec of a bottleneck component at the 11th hour? That's bullshit.

Then later in the article:
"About a month ago, Foxconn Technology Group pulled as many as 200 workers off an iPhone X production line."

So according to the article, despite Apple knowing about production issues for months, that as recently as a month ago production capacity was still being over estimated. That's also bullshit.

To take this report at face value means that Apple just sat by and watched for months while production capacity wasn't being met, even though they've been working on the Face ID tech for 5+ years and the iPhone is their most commercially important product.

There are plenty of useful production reasons for the November launch other than working around a strained component supply. The later launch of the X means that Apple can distribute the shared components of the 8 and X to produce the optimal number of units of each. The factories which build iPhones are running at capacity during iPhone manufacturing, bringing the 8 and the X to the market at the same time is an untenable one-time production boost, especially so because many of the skilled workers are needed for both the 8 and the X.

Let’s hope it’s not like one of those parties where it’s so loud (due to Store’s notoriously bad acoustics) that you can’t hear each other.

Just another Asian company doing whatever it takes to win, including breaking the law. Move along, nothing to see here. Everyone in the world who helps support these clowns by buying their products should feel proud of themselves.

pretty racist bro.

Lets not forget who's responsible for the holocaust and the housing crisis of 2008 that nearly destroyed the entire world economy.  

It's not racist unless it's not true and applies to only one race.  But this kind of corruption is very common in Asia, Europe, Africa, Russia, South America, Australia, oh and North America.
