Apple releases a suppliers list annually, and someone went through the trouble to map the worldwide chain, revealing that Cupertino is not counting just on China's manufacturing prowess, but its components base is spread at quite a few places.

Still, it's Japan, China, Hong Kong and South Korea as the Asian tigers that provide the bulk of iPhone, iPad, Macs and iPod parts, but the US is in the mix at quite a few places, too, there are operations in Europe, and even as far as Brasil.

Felip, there's a gap here. You should know the signifacance of a quoted text or word. It can also be a metaphor.
And here, Chevez is talking about how much 'Apple' has to pay Gradiente to use the name 'iPhone'...see the quote, '...'?

hong kong does not even have a manufacturing base... for any products... it's Taiwan, not Hong Kong, that rounds out the 4 asian countries supplying for Apple. Get your facts straight phone arena!

I think it's great that they're providing 7yr old Asian kids with work. Times is hard and rice isn't getting any cheaper.
