Tracing an iPad's journey from China to Anchorage, Alaska, US by Google Maps.
It starts at the infamous Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, China. That's the "iPad nursery".

I was suprised to see it coming from China. I always associated China with low quality. Makes me nervous about my purchase.
ReplyDeleteall apple products come from china lol.
ReplyDeletelast time i check 68% of retail products are made in china
Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world, has 80% of its products made in China.
Like it or not, China is the manufacturing giant of this day and age. They have the raw materials and the cheap labor. While an awful lot of Chinese products are cheap junk (mainly because Americans demand low prices), they also make most of the electronics in the world today, including products from almost all of the big name brands. You have to stop living in the past and accept reality.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Factories in China, I've been told by a close friend with close ties to them, will manufacture a product to the quality level that a purchaser indicates. The 'normal' breakdown for any given product is three tiers: cheap (low quality), regular (standard quality), and expensive (high quality). So, it may be up to the market to determine as to what quality we demand and how much we are willing to pay for goods.
ReplyDeleteApple = High Quality
