I find this hard to believe. I recently worked at a firm that is making top-of-the-line cell phones in the United States. Even if you took the LRIP BOM cost, quadrupled the cost of parts and then doubled it all for good measure you still wouldn’t sniff $10000.

This looks like a writer trying to justify the abuse of workers and the environment overseas in the name of cheap stuff.

All we know is it would cost too much. These are great jobs for Chinese (far safer and better paying than rural Chinese’s farm jobs), but terrible for Americans.
