    And so Apple’s breakdown begins. Trump smashing their overrated market position in the US. It’s the first time I would support his BS decisions.

      I don’t, this is not a good thing. Threatening a company with punitive action bcz they didn’t capitulation to your whims is not a good thing. Nevermind that you cant just up and move your manufacturing overnight.

      The right way to bring manufacturing back is to give companies incentives and investment funds for bringing manufacturing back over a certain number of years. A carrot and honey are a lot more convincing than vinegar when trying to get what you want.

        That’s all true. But how do you feel for buying an already overpriced product, made by a greedy company which acts against software developers (by prohibidding selling their software on other market places and dictating prices), the environment, and the customer (repairability, compatibility and more restrictions) and the state (tax evasion)? I think Apple should get what they deserve.
