$200 surcharge for made in america apple iphone

[S2007S]

So in order for Apple to make up the costs of making the iPhone here one analyst figures Apple will charge an additional $200 more for same phone thats made in China....yep, an already overpriced phone becoming even more overpriced.... Guess we are going to see the price of everything made in America skyrocket.....maybe foxconn will move the entire facility into America and hire 1 million people to build these iphones, or does no one want to build iphones here in america??? Wonder what the going wages would be and if they would provide health care and retirement plans and paid time off, apple might have to dip into that $250 billion,+ stash and start getting to work building their state of the art facilities here,





$200 surcharge for Made in America iPhone could solve Apple's big problem, according to one analyst

Wonderful! Apple will lower cost when people stop buying. Someone will come out with something better and cheaper if Apple raises prices. Salaries of top people may have to be trimmed. TOO bad! eh! We are on the right track! Yes!

There are cheaper smartphones on the market but the world now has this idea that if it isn't Apple it isn't good. The most I pay for a smartphone now a days is $250-$350....you have to be an idiot to plop down $500, $650, $850 or a $1000. I can buy a tablet for $50 and a laptop for $150, but smartphones for some reason carry such a damn premium its disgusting....
