I love it when people comment about how cheap these phones are and never questioned how they manage to get it so cheap?
Yeah, but to implement all those safeguards at their manufacturing sites requires money and Apple probably had to reduce a cut from their products in order to get the manufacturers to apply those safeguards ...
Huh? Didn't you read my original post?The way your post dismisses those deaths as merely a cost item is, to me, shocking.

It's neither rocket science nor socially evil how Xiaomi and others sell such nice phones for less.
1. They're okay with not making record huge profit margins on the hardware like Apple does.
2. They don't have the overhead of Apple, who spends a ton on fancy HQs, tens of thousands of employees, stores, R&D on cars, ads, etc.
Consider that Apple pays Foxconn about $230 for an iPhone 7 that it sells for $650. Now imagine if they were instead willing and able to take only a 2% profit margin like Xiaomi.
Frankly, beyond greed, there's no reason for phones to cost very much. It's no different than the way that DVD players, microwave ovens and other consumer goods started at $1,000 but now can be had anywhere for far less.
Apple doesn't like to reduce their margins. Instead, they usually force Foxconn take the hit.
Not really, but being based on Qualcomm chip , there are some custom rom avaiable.Could I wipe it and install Android 7.x.x?
After using the iPhone from 3 to 6 and all in between, I was "scared" about it, after 1 year of Android I am still questioning the validity of such fear, never had anything like that.... is it a mith?? Probably yes!I suppose it's alright as long as you don't mind the spyware.
Such a beautiful device at half the price of a iPhone 7 Plus ,looks tempting![]()
Interesting how you pointed out point no.2, R&D and 2% profit margin ended up saying greed. So if Apple go for 2% do you think they'll have money to develop their own processors, green initiative, R&D and etc.?
No one would like to reduce their margins, Foxconn included and in this case, since Apple needs the volume and Foxconn is the only one that can deliver it to them, the agreement would likely be mutual.
