honestly why (apart from global politics) are they trying to move from China?

…put 2 iphones on a shelf…one from CN and one from INDIA and I know which one I would pick. CN is so optimised for building these devices (inc supply chain proximity), I don’t want a phone from a struggling factory.

for everyone that says that it would not cost much to offer 16Gb as base, what they would be forgoing is an easy $200 upsell. cost is not the issue, it is forgone margin
