More "Made in China" electronics junk that people don't need. Amazing. I like Apple as a company, but it never ceases to amaze me how insatiable the American appetite is for electronic crap that will be obsolete in 12 months.

I saw a report recently that said that even on the discounted iPhones, Apple makes about $80 pure profit on each one. The manufacturers in China that run the sweatshop get about $12 for each, IIRC.
