    retired military people.  Wouldn't they still have ties to the military.   And possible rouge companies ?

    The Chinese military probably isn't the biggest market for "rouge" companies.

    More concerning is the possibility that the Chinese government, (like all governments) is lying, and they're actually active military intelligence, tasked with installing some kind of hidden tracking/mining hardware capability to iPhones. Possibly without the knowledge of FoxConn. If iPhones were made here, it would be the NSA doing it.
    So Chinese government does not know iFixit will open a new iPhone at first time to tear apart it and examining every little detail of the iPhone?

    I’ve supported Macs since 1988 professionally, and then for family. In 2008, I rolled over my 401k from a former employer into an IRA, setting aside just enough money to purchase 12 shares of apple stock at something like $84 a share and am pretty sure I did just in the nick of time as I now have something approaching 400 shares. It’s the most valuable part of my IRA by a wide margin. I’ve seen Apple run into legal challenges and questions around the labor force and I’ve seen them show proof that everything is above board. While certainly not perfect, I continue to have faith in them. 
    Good move!

    You youngsters out there, pay attention to Marc G: leave the Robinhood meme stocks, the Teslas, and the  cryptos to Wall Street quants. Buy great companies with a history of growing earnings and increasing dividends. Observe where the people of all demographics shop, like Ulta Cosmetics or Lululemon. Learn to research their fundamentals. Buy in through dollar cost averaging (look it up). Reminvest all dividends. Retire with more than you can spend.
    The utmost important thing for the success of an American company is the CEO. CEO should have passion, integrity, and innovation. The last criteria is hard to find.

    So Apple has told the SEC they aren’t using Uyghur supply chain labor but nobody believes them. Apple can’t be believed? Is that the argument?
    Exactly! As a shareholder he does not trust Apple. Why did he invest in Apple?

    Don't upgrade, wait until its made in USA (and it should!)
    No, I also doubt the quality of iPhone made in US.
