I'm not talking shit about chinese or korean people. I'm talking shit about chinese manufacturers.
Why do you think so many fake consumer electronics items are so accurate? Hint: factory owners and engineers are susceptible to inventives.
In this case I am talking about the privileged knowledge that this particular LG component is part of a new apple product. This was almost certainly protected by an NDA, which was broken by someone involved in the ipad manufacturing process. I wouldn't be surprised if apple gossip bloggers are bribing foxconn employees or something like that.
Compared to how many Japanese manufacturers pleasantly surprised American companies with their quality, strong business ethics, and emphasis on long term relationships, the constant stream of surprisingly slimy practices of Chinese manufacturers is a stark contrast.
Reverse engineering the manufacturing process is a lot harder than "buy CAM data, delete logos, resubmit to different factory." A lot of these products have a lot more than superficial similarity. Ipads are perhaps not the best example. High-end headphones are better.
You are speculating. My example was to prove that information leaks for a variety of reasons. You on the other hand are working with a foregone conclusion based on prejudice.
