I'm sure nimo can reply for himself.

If you find my posts objectionable, a personal message would suffice. May I suggest you go easy with the public rebukes, unless you are open to a fair debate - which I assume you aren't ?
No, the protocol here is that if you find another member's post objectionable, you report it, and not reply to it yourself. A moderator can remind an entire swarm of people by posting guidelines public. And may I remind you, you can be rebuked, and that has nothing to do with fairness of a debate, your assumptions of me don't matter.

Did you know, Apple iPhone is made only in China?
When it comes to Iphones China contribute mainly to assembling and some basic components. all major chips are made either in USA or in Europe.

Close to every component you mentioned is fabricated in Taiwan (another country that is classified as "developing" country) so my point stands, that anything manufactured in a developing country by a manufacturer from a developed country stands at a false advantage compared to a product made in a developing country by a manufacturer local to that country, even if quality in reality, is not a factor.

I thought one will consider technology involve in making those components. components made by Foxcon are not at all critical and any small country can produce is. all critical component of the Iphone are not made in China. They merely assemble it .

PHP:
Interestingly, of the 600 USD that is paid to Apple for each iPhone only 6.54 USD is accounted for by the supply chain in China!

I already posted this link a long back but will post it again.

They merely assemble it . I read an article that out of entire cost involve in making an Iphone hardly 20 % goes to China including labour charges along with some minor components. So one cannot claim that China is manufacturing it .
Right, but at the end, an iPhone carries the China label. They spin it as "made by Apple".

Most of iPhone's components are not American. Its most critical component, the so-called "Apple A4" processor is just a re-labeled Samsung Cortex 1 GHz CPU, made in Korea.

OK, I may have just used a bad example, but my point stands, I've already used Cisco's example, I'll use another one, take any high-end Nokia phone made in China. Why does it sell? because of the Nokia brand, even when it's the same Chinese manufacturing (components + parts + labour) that goes into it.
