I bet this is how it works, Apple is outsourcing to Foxconn in China, Apple charges Foxconn 50dollars per ipad. Then Apple charges the dumb consumers 500dollars making a huge profit margin.

Meanwhile, Foxconn prints ipads like paper, sells it to a blackmarket network in China 100dollars per ipad making twice the money Apple pays them. Then the blackmarket puts it on sale to consumers for 200dollars for the same product.

Honestly, I don't know who the bad guy is.

You realize that China is very much capitalist, right? You're looking at capitalism. Step away from the propaganda, communism isn't what you think it is.

If this is true, they are selling devices that don't pass QA. I would not be shocked to find out that Foxconn is intentionality breaking a number of devices or reporting devices as broken that are not. One other note, Apple has slightly better margins than other computer companies, but not as big as you think.

You don't need to be envious of cheap crappy products and severely flawed government on the other side of the world.
