#3 Did some quick assembly line worker wage checking, using salaryexplorer*com that works out to :

In Communist China, 7690 CNY or $1113.27 (USD) a month.

vs.

India, 8,550 INR, or about $104.66.

So Apple will reduce the labor cost of producing an iPhone by 90.59%.
Not have to give Communist China 51% control, like is done frequently in doing business in China. Plus, it will not have to deal with the growing Communist China vs USA conflict issues.

Sounds like Apple is making a logical Business move on the surface.
But, why do I feel there is something that lays beneath all of this?

#4 ^ The ComChis want corporate control. The Indians just want bribes.

#5 China is saturated with phones.
India, perhaps not as much.
With Russia as a trading partner that's a big market.

#8 Tim Cook and the Apple board blew it. The revealed themselves to the whole world. They don't care if they enable a hostile, totalitarian communist dictatorship so I don't care about them. They can eat their iPhones. I'll never buy one.

#10 Tom from Hyderabad was most helpful to me today getting my HP pc to finally find and communicate with my HP scanner. It wasn’t easy… what is the matter with HP?

#11 what is the matter with HP?

Same thing that's wrong with Apple. Check on the back of that equipment and you'll see it was made in China. Mr. Hewlett and Mr. Packard left the building a long, long time ago the same as Mr. Jobs left Apple. Today those companies are run by empty suits who care more about profits than anything else, including national security. Well, I shouldn't forget they care about being woke too but that has a lot to do with Blackrock. And, since they are empty suits, none of them has ever had a single original innovative thought so they maintain profits by using cheap labor and compromising product quality.
