There was nothing scientific about North Carolina’s bigoted laws.
What does this even mean? Are you referring to the stupid bathroom bill which was quickly repealed once NC course-corrected by voting out Pat McCroy? Maybe you're thinking of the gerrymandering... something not exclusive to NC and something that is being corrected as well.
NC is one of the more progressive states - look up the Research Triangle Park. It hosts IBM, Cisco, NetApp, GlaxoSmithKline, Quintiles, Lenovo, the EPA center for air pollution. Red Hat is headquartered in Raleigh. SAS is headquartered in Cary and John Deere Agriculture & Turf is located there as well. GE Aviation final assembly is in Durham. Epic games is headquartered in Cary. Let's not forget the 130+ colleges and universities like Duke, A&T, UNC, Central, NC State... just to name a few.
Apple would fit in quite well.
Sure, NC has the backwoods, backwards thinking areas just like every other state but the vast majority of the state's population supports forward thinking. It's less bigoted than people who think the whole state is based on a couple of failed laws.

Apple tries to hire all kinds of people, whether they are deaf, blind, LGBTQ, etc. Neither Virginia nor North Carolina are friendly towards any of those groups.
Have you stepped out of Boston to visit NC or VA? This is the most absurd comment.

NC? I'll be happy to switch to a non-Apple phone.
Some of them work quite well.
Why?

I don't know much about Vthese two locations regulations and employment standards. How do they compare to other states? why these two places vs NY or Georgia (or so many numerous other places)
Just curious, I've got almost no opinion of the matter other than "interesting"
Check out the Research Triangle Park.
