Aish! Apple! This always makes me lough when I look at the back of my iPhone: "Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in Chine" to keep it simple "Made in China"

Not sure whether they are assembled in China or not. But my friend says Apple iphones & ipads are assembled in Foxconn India plant

They are not. They are made in Chenzen (spelling) China. The WORST foxconn plant around.. even by foxconn and Chinese standards. Thats the way apple wants it though, as no matter what apple fanboys tell you, apple retains direct control/heavy influence in their supply chain.

Wait a second...so Apple isn't the one that copied their work. Some app developer took their idea and put it into the App Store. Shouldn't they be suing the app creator and not owner of the store? That would be like Samsung suing Best Buy because they sell the iPad instead of just suing Apple themselves...unless I'm missing something.

thats what i was thinking… everybody just attacks apple instead of the person who actually copyrighted.. apple will im sure defend the app but still

@JeffdaBeat, I don't think they are app developers.. they are writers and the books that they write are being sold in the AppStore.. because if it is just their "software" idea, then they have no right at all.. I mean, unless the "copiers" used their codes on their own software.. so that devoids the comment I made a while ago.. Apple did not copy ideas the Chineses' ideas, they stole the exact product and sold it without the author's consent or whatever..

Apple is truely a rotten fruit and its about time they are finally getting their comeuppance,they say what goes around comes around. Only bad thing as phonearena has reported is that around 31 million people have recently bought iphones so these programmed people are just funding future apple legal madness

Before people start rejoicing and clapping in Apple getting theirs get a better idea of what's going on.
I read the source article on MocoNews and apparently Google and Baidu had to deal with something similar. They were hosting content by 3rd party developers that didn't obtain the proper rights to post. I would think (unless the law in China dictates otherwise) that the Developers (Infringers in this case) should be held responsible before the content hosters. Should Apple etc. comply with requests to remove material, absolutely; but with the volume of apps on the app store it's VERY hard to monitor what content is being hosted that has proper permissions vs. what isn't.
Copyright holders should make sure to work with whoever is hosting their content to set up a system where there is accountability and open communication to ensure work isn't being posted and profited from without the spoils going to the author and copyright holder. Discovery of infringement should be on THEM not the hosting service, they have the burden of proving what has been stolen by who. This happens all the time with Youtube, ISP's as well so don't be so quick to pull out the Eff-Evil-Apple card have some common sense.

"Chinese writers **ATTACK** Apple "?? They're protecting themselves from Apple's theft!
Be more biased.
