53. And I'm an insider

If the American consumer demands it be made in America - Apple will need to comply.

Also - you can't just look at the Carbon Footprint.

Look at the cost.

Do you want your Service provider's cost to keep increasing as gas prices increase? Do you want us to have pass the cost of goods on to you so that Foxconn/Apple can have their way (we are going to have to pay a lot of people OFF in China if they can't just continue to do things as they have been). This game is all about palm greasing.


I think you need to go back and look at the shipping costs.

And YOU DO realize that all of the carriers that sell the device with two year plans . . . we pay far faaaaaaaar more than you the consumer does?

So if Apple continues, and the four big ones - we gang up on them and tell them they can sell their product with our service but we won't be a distributor for them any more - will you be willing to pay Apple's Cost of Goods plus mark up?

I don't mean to pick at you - but while everyone else is whining about Foxconn employee treatment - I'm looking at this from the POV that I have customers. Those customers want Apple products. I want to bring those products into my Distribution Centers (DC's) as CHEAPLY as possible in order to keep the price in line with what they consumer will pay - AND - make Wall Street Happy.


Good bad or ugly - if you pick on Wall Street - the pick on Apple.

If you pick on Apple - pick on Wall street.
