    Hindi pwede yang ginagawa ng Foxconn dito sa pinas. Robots is best suited for their workload.

    They should move to Japan. At least, people there are passionate about quality work and craftsmanship, unlike in China.

    True, quality comes at a price.

    With the prices of iProducts though, it's disconcerting that it doesn't have the quality that is expected of its price.

    Apple pays Foxconn $8 for each iphone it assembles


    BOM = bill of materials

    if iphones will be assembled in Japan it will cost many times that

    and Apple will want to preserve its huge profit margin (around 70%)

    so retail $1500 per unit? $2000?

    Apple fans are loyal but will they be loyal enough to pay $2000 for an iphone?

    Well, if Foxconn and its factory workers don't shape up, people would ditch the fruit brand because they'd be laughed at for purchasing a defective product at a very high price.

    Tim Cook, unfortunately, doesn't measure up to Steve Jobs. This is really sad. They need to fix this production issue and execute the plans of SJ properly.

    If it's a well crafted product, I guess people would be more than willing to pay premium for it. Especially if it doesn't have the Made in China stamp of poor quality.

    Reality is, if one can't afford it...they shouldn't buy it.
