Doesn't Apple have an R&D facility in Israel? I don't see anyone complaining about that.
Just wondering what are the advantages of having R&D facilities across different nations?
Most people have no clue where apple R&D facilities are at, or are being relocated to. And that includes other corporations. So you will not hear any complaints.
iPhone:
Designed in Taiwan. Made in China.
Is that what things are coming to?

Why is there a suicide net on top of the building?![]()
Are you serious? Chinese engineering is usually used as a butt of a joke.

Yep, I'm sure we'll see a Taiwanese influence in the next iPhone.Seriously, Apple bragged about bringing jobs back to the US with the Mac Pro; this seems to contradict that goal.
God bless capitalism, no matter its format or jurisdiction.It was a Japanese colony, not British.
And funny about those designed in Taiwan and manufactured in China comments, because Taiwanese companies actually hold most of the contracts with Apple for the cheap labour manufacturing in China. Most Taiwanese companies like HTC, Asus, Acer, etc do exactly that...design their stuff in Taiwan and manufacture in China.

Looking at the building in the photo I now know where the new MP design came from. Wonder if it has a big hole down the middle?

So why is Samsung able to open a semiconductor plant in Texas? A foreign company comes to the US where labor is a lot more expensive than in Taiwan, China, etc....
Funny observation.
Expanding their talent pool.....?
Apple has all this foreign cash, that they can't repatriate to the US, without huge tax implications, so they are practically forced to spend some of it overseas.
