  1. Incorporating this sistem Apple phones seem over priced. Wouldn't mined paying the present prices if they were made in the USA or BRITAIN but there not.
    Very patriotic of the owner.
    Another rich person growing the divide between rich and poor.
    Stuff China, who do you think will own your business soon. Maybe the world.

  4. I can only say this….Chinese workers in Foxxcon have been treated like slaves for many years. Some committed suicide by jumping off the building long before Covid pandemic. The situation was so chronic but it got all sealed up and under reported.
    Apple can't do too much about it because the factory is in China.

    Folks, if you have an iPhone in hand, don't be so proud while it cost a fortune. The phones are powered by blood and sweat in it.

  6. Têm que brigar por liberdade, senão serão escravos para sempre! Cadê os direitos humanos, cadê a ONU, cadê o Santo Papa, cadê o Leonardo Di Caprio, cadê a aquela garotinha metidinha, cadê?
