Exactly. You can't bank on the Apple hipsters forever. Us regular folks buy one iphone every couple of years when we get a credit for a new phone. Maybe one Ipad total. I bought the biggest Ipod they made, and I won't buy another unless it breaks. They need to buy some of their suppliers and streamline their supply chain. Pump up their margins that way. Then you can bring some jobs back to the US, eat the cost increase since you just increased your profit margin and ride the wave of positive
PR.
