Yeah guess what? Other countries pay big bucks and charge their taxpayers big bucks, to promote industry.

Carrier cost wat? 70$M to save 700 jobs?

If you want the CLUSTER of capable high tech factories needed to produce iPhones? Pres Elect Trump, you are gonna pay a LOT more than $70 Million.

It has to be creating the right conditions for LOTS of companies to repatriate manufacturing. With a FORTUNE in govt subsidies/corporate welfare.

You can't just slap tariffs on Chinese goods and spark a trade war. That will simply undermine the US economy.

The solution is Uncle Sam taking out the checkbook.

Yeah I feel like I'm getting an overly negative view of Apple due to reading these and other forums... when really the company's sales are holding up okay.

I'm sure some criticisms are valid... but then again Apple is going to get criticized on these boards no matter WHAT the company does...

Don't believe the poll numbers not about political candidates or watches. 

I hate Apple today. iCloud is still down for me. Can't sign into iTunes either. Just so frustrating.

Apple Watch? No. I personally will not be purchasing any more Apple gear until the company gets its existing stuff including the cloud working reliably. 

Backpacker here. I'd love an Apple Watch if it fit my needs: long battery life, GPS and 100% independence from carrying an iPhone.

Lower price would help.
