    It all comes down to labor. Are American companies willing to bring mass manufacturing back to America? A typical Chinese Foxconn factory employs 100,000 to 200,000 workers and pays them roughly $2-3 an hour depending on overtime. While the base shift at Foxconn is usually 8 hours, overtime of 2-4 hours is common.

    The average minimum wage in America is $7.50. Now with all these deportations happening, what American is willing to work at a factory, for 8-12 hours a day, making minimum wage to manufacture iPhones?
    There are so many unemployed American adults. I think there are plenty who’d see thirds jobs as answered prayers. 
    As an unemployed American adult, I would not work in those kinds of conditions. At $7.50 an hour, 12 hours a shift, would come out to just $300 a week before taxes. I would have to have a second job just to afford rent, let alone food and bills.

  • If your iPhone alarms aren't going off, you're not alone

    JinTechJinTech
    I also feel like the alarm setting is just kind of flakey in general. It seems like there are to many variables for it not to go off... phone is muted, the volume is not high enough, etc. It's an alarm. It should only have one volume and it should be annoying. Maybe have two options "light wake up" which will gradually wake you up or "hard wake up" which is just an annoying volume to ensure you wake up.

  • Apple won't return TikTok to the App Store until it's sold to a U.S. buyer

    The move to acquire TikTok is reminiscent of eminent domain, or the process of the government acquiring private property for public use provided it fairly compensates the original owner. However, because the only requirement is that ByteDance divests to a U.S.-based owner, who would likely retain it as private property, it does not meet the criteria.

    I’m sorry, what? What move to acquire TikTok? By who?

    How did eminent domain become relevant in this discussion? This reads like a fever dream. 
    Rumor has it Elon Musk is looking to buy the company.

  • US senators question big tech, including Apple, on the reason behind inauguration donation...

    JinTechJinTech
    They should be investigating Trump and the reason why he is receiving these “donations” to begin with. 

    We all know if you don’t pay favors to Trump, you’re not on his good side. Extortion plain and simple.

    Smart move on Tim's part, I don't want Apple to get shafted by new tariff policies. Or maybe he's happy that Trump is getting rid of the bird and whale killing windmills, or maybe he wants and invitation to Mar a Lago to see another live performance of YMCA by the Village People.
    This.

    For all those opposed to Cook doing this, he's doing it for the benefit of the company, and in turn the benefit of the consumer.

    Would you rather higher priced Apple products?
