Apple Returns 5-8 Million Defective iPhones to Foxconn?

It's a hard fact of the business that almost everything now is made in China. And I'm always wary of products made in China. They almost always seem to suffer from quality. The world would someday be made in China and I'm not really that particularly happy about that because of the made in China's not so good reputation when it comes to quality.

Made in Thailand or Malaysia seem to a lot better off but if an iphone for example would be made right out in the US, I think that'd be a lot better. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for as long as I can guarantee the quality.

Products made in Thailand or Malaysia are often of better quality than those made in China? Are you seriously so blind??? Or, I guess maybe all of the international companies are wrong and only you yourself can be correct.

Nope. He's correct. Products made in Thailand and Malaysia are of better quality than China.

All these intl conpanies are not wrong. They are in China because its dirt cheap for them. Unfortunately that tends to lead to subpar products a lot of times.

Just to be a little pedantic, but most of these products aren’t “made” in china, they are just “assembled” there since the labor, as you say, is so cheap...
