Your views are very outdated. It's been over a decade (if not more) since Chinese labor was "dirt cheap". China now has more engineers of various types than USA and companies were exploring moving manufacturing out of China and into other countries (Vietnam, India, Mexico, and even Africa) specifically to SAVE on labor costs. So far most of these attempts have failed because no other place in the world has the network of various experts and factories you need to quickly spin up tooling and manufacturing of a new product than China.

So China is still the cheapest labour?
Dave The Diver said:
Yeah, $1,500 because there's a LOT more that goes into the cost of any product, much less a premium item such as an iPhone, than just raw BOM. To start this includes hardware R&D, software R&D, retail costs, and salaries for all people (from China to USA) that are involved in manufacturing, shipping, marketing, etc.

The BOM includes packing and R+D in most projects, you recoup the costs of R+D which is calculated in the creation of the product, in the same way that you add labour and overheads (Energy cost+Building utilities and insurance etc). It's clear you've never costed a product or project before. Only transport/logistics/shipping is added after the fact as that fluctuates depending on type of transport; land, air, sea and delivery time, I.E. do they want it now or are they happy with the X weeks shipping time?

As for R+D with Apple, it's already been done with every previous phone. The cost to the new development of R+D is a constant cost and budgeted for every year. The department doesn't just do 1 phone, it will work on a multitude of products and that cost for the budget is split between the unit price of those products, past, present and future.

The world view you express is so divorced from reality that I'm starting to think you're trying to bait people on purpose.

I personally despise dipshits like you. You talk down to people as if they're retarded and have no experience in what they're talking about, like accusing me of baiting, yet you're objectively miles off of the mark and have no experience in what you're saying.

50501. I thought I saw a logo for them at a prior protest. I guess I just dismissed it because I figured maybe I was mistaking it for something else, but is this really the same 50501 I'm thinking of from earlier this year? I remember it being a fucking joke where not even Redditors were taking it seriously. They tried desperately to get traction and got nowhere, but now I'm seeing this group attached to this shit like a brand.

Who the fuck is funding this?

They had a protest in my city a few weeks ago. A few dozen boomers turned out.

They had another protest at the same spot yesterday. Only one person showed up.

They're pathetic.

I knew reddit's were brain dead, but Jesus Christ.

They genuinely think that trump was trying to say the tattoo actually had those letters

IT WAS A PHOTOSHOP, AN OBVIOUS ONE, TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE TATTOS MEANT. HE DIDNT MEAN THE NIGGER LITERALLY HAD THE LETTERS
