The fault is not Apple's. Look around you, who is buying this stuff? You can't blame Apple for wanting to make money. Although there is something to be said about the widening gap between worker income and company profit. But if Apple left another company would immediately jump in its place.
The issue that no one is really looking at, including all the displaced workers who think bringing jobs back will improve their plight, is automation. I feel bad because the very first victims of automation will be those workers in those 3rd world country factories. But automation will make its way everywhere, and when there are no more jobs to actually bring back I wonder what the rhetoric will be. It will also be interesting when prices keep going up for products, while costs go down.
