Other local phones, since you'd be hard presses to find something un-Chinese about the iPhone.

The OS? The software ecosystem? The App store? 99.999% of the apps? The brand? The industrial design? Just because something is manufactured somewhere, doesn't mean it originates from that place.

Is there even a homegrown Chinese mobile OS? Re-skinning android doesn't count.

Please, no more NIH syndrome. Linux, which is built by an international community, is good enough.

Linux is just a kernel. Android is an entire ecosystem made by an American company. I think its a stretch to call Android an international product.

Its probably also a stretch to call Linux international considering its founder is an American citizen now and the vast majority of contributors are Americans and American companies. Not to mention its essentially a clone of an American proprietary product.
