You use a blackberry dude lol your just a hater going by all the posts in this thread you do relise they make other things than just phones. Foxconn in China is a huge company they have a lot more costumers then just apple, nokia, samsung, toshiba, microsoft and many more use them.
I know that, a lot of them do, but respectable companies build their own factories. No wonder Foxconn workers had around 50 suicides at work already, working 17 hours a day for 7 days a week is no fun, and get paid for it around £0.50 an hour is no fun either...
And Samsung is making everything in Korea and paying decent wages to their workers -) Not just designing, actually making A LOT of stuff, and the screens for Apple as well. Blackberry by the way is way more reliable then any Apple product, lets say simply because it's mainly made in Canada and Hungary...
It's not that I hate Apple, it's just funny how people say Apple is cool, Iphone is cool, but actually it's shite, I mean things like reliability, battery life (non replaceable), camera, even the screen in the latest models is not that good as Samsung, for the money you pay it's simply not worth it. No wonder the company has wiped 20% of it's shares recently - that is a huge amount of money by the way!
What do you mean I use blackberry LOL? It's a different type of market - Blackberry, most of the people who has a business would be a BlackBerry user, it was designed for business purposes in the first place. It's not doing that great these days either, but hey they will always have their customers, as they actually makes PHONES, not some sort of a Pocket PC with a function of making a call, designed to look COOL.
IF Apple was making cars - nobody would buy them! Their reliability would've been worse then the cars Made in China for China -) And they would have a price tag of a Ferrari.
We have our Toyota's because they're one the best sport cars for the money, reliable, rare and simply fun to drive without having to pay an arm and leg! Toyota=reliable and cheap, AK-47=reliable and cheap, Apple=Unreliable and Expensive.
Iphone become popular because it was something new on the market, revolutionary, indeed the design was unusual and in to the detail! Now however with the 5th version they simply run out of Ideas, Now Samsung S3 has more to offer then the Iphone 5, and it's cheaper and more reliable and it has better and bigger screen -) Next year Samsung will announce S4 and increase the price for the Apple (old technology) screens, then we'll see how Apple will survive as only Samsung can cover their demand, and they have shortages already!!! Also because Apple is suing most of the companies they deal with, a lot of new suppliers would simply refuse to deal with them -) [Where is the BIG smile face here???]
P.S. Ipad like device was invented in 1995 by another US company, but was very expensive and available only for corporate market, so the Idea of an Ipad was NOT invented by Apple.
