Foxconn examining shift of iPhone assembly to India
Aha! THIS is why Foxconn had to say it was hiring 50,000... China must have stepped in to tell them that they have a nice company and that it would be a shame if something were to happen to it...

Motorola Razr revival with foldable display could cost more than an iPhone XS Max
Very bad renderings with impossible physics in the bendy part. There's no way this won't look more like a Surface hinge in the middle - if it ever gets made.SpamSandwich said:Here it is: https://youtu.be/EaS_pxjcuNA
The whole thing seems asinine to me, but hey... let the market decide.

1) Why do you feel compelled to talk about subjects you clearly know absolutely nothing about? 2) What makes you believe the U.S. is faring any better? The economy is circling the drain, the stock market lost two years of gains, and the foreign debt is skyrocketing.SpamSandwich said:French Socialism has created both a sense of entitlement for their people and a sense of unquestionable authority for their government. Now it’s looking like the whole system there has reached the end of the line. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Paris engulfed in flames within a matter of weeks. It’s all out anarchy there.I'll take this one as I lived there for a decade and still go back every year and talk to family every week there...There are no good jobs anymore unless you are well connected. France uses internships (stages) to fill up seats. These are nowhere jobs that only exist to hide the true number of unemployed.Macron tried to get a few reforms through but those that have their piece don't want to let go of it. Much like in Greece and Italy (and watch for Spain and Portugal next) with their austerity.France taxes it's citizens to death. There are taxes on top of taxes! Want TV? = tax. You have a job? = you have to buy supplementary insurance to fill the void of the national healthcare system (oh, and you are taxed on that too). You invested your whole life and have some money saved up? That's a fortune and we want money from you because of it. (Macron is in trouble now because he lowered that one since those that could were leaving and the revenue was drying up - like my brother in law).The US economy is so much better than anywhere in Europe it is laughable. There is no reason the Euro is even as "high" as it is except for fake reports that hide the real crisis underneath. Even Merkel is getting out before the big crash/wars.When my family visits the States, they are always amazed that almost every store, restaurant, or business is hiring (with big signs outside almost all of them). You don't even need to cross the street as Macron put it.Indeed, France is running out of people's money to use to prop it's self up. The crash is going to be spectacular if not heartbreaking to watch. Staring this weekend when the gillets jaunes vont encore casser tout!
