This is simples,Apple are falling behind in the market to android and samsung,so if they can't beat or control them they try to sue them,the childish sueing has been unsuccessful so now they will try to source components else where. TSMC will be under ball and chain from here on and knee bowing to apple will follow

As Apple goes down the dominance of the western world will go down. East Asian companies and their markets will be the largest in the world. South Korean companies like Samsung, LG etc., will make their own operating systems soon and will also overtake this market. Other top companies from Taiwan -TSMC, HTC, Chine -ZTE, Huawei , Japan - sony etc. will see a rise as Western companies like Nokia go down. Well all of this depend on the products they launch, the market conditions and most importantly; peoples' response.

Not just business, standard of living, country's economy will change accordingly. RIM has also reported a drop in earnings. Western world is going down.

Would it kill apple to hire an american manufacturer?
People like Taco wonder why people hate apple. The truth is Apple is a profit only company and does whatever it takes to make a profit not caring about peoples rights. Paying people 50 dollars a month to make your ipods. I'm not saying people who purchase these products are bad people, many don't know. at least Some companies like Samsung create parts here in the United States a Korean company might I add.

Apple will do whatever makes them the most money...why do you think they have such huge cash reserves? Because they hardly spend...just look at all the small iterations between the iphones...doubt much r&d happened and the ipad is a big iPod touch so again hardly any r&d...thats 3 supposed different products but are really the same devices with one being bigger and one without radio's etc

taco will no doubt argue that Android makers use the same type of labor to produce their products.
But notice that Apple doesn't pass the 'slave labor' prices on to the consumer. In the words of taco and his group of isheep you have to be rich to afford the iPhone so this is the rich screwing over the poor. Nice job fanboys

So fandroids how do android manufacturers make phones? Don't they use the same types of factories. If you don't like it that's fine, but be consistent. Bash Apple, HTC, Samsung etc. Have you ever looked on the back of pretty much any product? It's all made in China, Mexico etc.
Losers haters. Can't wait to see the wounded cries when the iPhone 5 comes out and smashes the competition.

If they are all made in the same factories using the same slave labor, when the investigations are done why don't you read about Samsung, HTC, RIM, LG, and others, we are only reading about Apple, they are either the only ones doing it or the only ones stupid enough to get caught.

Because everything Apple is news. Steve Jobs can fart and it will make the news. Answer the question. How does Samsung make phones? If your answer is I don't know then you're a hypocrite.
