Speaking of which, well still iPad.
Next to my project there is one of those game rooms, all electronic where you can win prizes. One game is filled with Nanos, where you try and knock them off a shelve, via aiming a plastic rod through a hole <-- yeah right LOL. The other game you can win a iPad, not sure how that game works or how much they cost to play?
The manufacturing is a very tiny slice of the profit pie for all the Apple products made in China. A 30 percent profit margin the China manufacture I think gets 1.5 % or less. It is the innovation, the design, that happens in the United States and that is where most of the money goes.
Manufacturing by itself is cheap and the cut the manufacturer gets is very small. There is a reason why the manufacturing is in China. You can't make a profit in the US doing stuff like that.
