Oh yes, because the quarter of a million Chinese factory workers building iPhones had two years training to do so.

I don't watch Fox News. I don't deny that manufacturing and natural resources benefit the economy. I'm saying that it's not Apple's responsibility to save the economy. They're a business competing with many other businesses who also outsource manufacturing overseas to reduce costs. As you pointed out, plenty of…

Apple's not captain save-a-ho; they're obigated to make money, not throw America a bone. Apple, like all other tech companies, is a growth company. Thus, their profits are expected to grow. Deciding to go into manufacturing would be devastating to Apple's stock as the company would appear to be failing; their growth…

That's not what I said. You claimed we can't download files from our emails, when we can. I don't prioritize first-party apps over third-party apps. The best thing about an App Store is that the 3rd party apps can compete with Apple's own apps so that users get the best experience. For example, I use the iCabMobile…

Doesn't every company get what they pay for? They have to pay their employees

My point wasn't whether its important to you, my point was that you falsely asserted that "remember that apps can't share data between each other, and that you can't even download a document or song from your email and use it in another app." You can do all of those things in one step on the iPad; The ability to open…

Have you used an iOS device lately? There's a reason they say "there's an app for that." Today alone I downloaded 30 music videos from YouTube from one browser app, compressed them to a zip folder, and transferred them to a file app. I also watched a flash video and browsed a flash site with the same experience I…

Seriously? People are still bitching about the iPhone 4 antenna? That was 2 iPhones ago people. Time to let it go. I had an iPhone 4, and never needed a case to make calls.

Pretty sure Daws meant 3G network not iPhone 3G.

Apple acquired those patents through a consortium with other companies, but the other companies license the patents.

Accepted marketing terms allows HSPA+ and LTE to be marketed as 4G. Don't believe me? Check my source: http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/48.aspx

It was a over a year. Seems shorter now that their stance is back to pre-leak days, but they were pretty much an anti-Apple site. Like antenna-gate wouldn't have happened these days on Giz.

I don't consider Giz a pro-Apple blog. In fact, I would read Giz for everything, but Apple. I relied on other sources for a less biased view against Apple. As Mark pointed out, it wasn't on occasion that Giz criticized Apple. It was well over a year, after getting in trouble with Apple for leaking the iPhone 4,…

My comment had nothing to do with products that I use. Whether Apple or Samsung, Gizmodo writes in the same style. They use the same sensationalized headlines as well.

True, but this is a tech blog, not court. Gizmodo's not aiming for a pulitzer. They write in a fun way that's more suited to their audience. No need to be so serious all the time.

Apple's been doing the same thing forever. Look at macs, iPads, iPods, and iPhones. the general pricing philosophy for new generations is keep the same price or reduce the price. Hence, why this is not news.

The original iPhone was $600. I got it first the first day it was released. My parent's paid for it as a hs graduation gift.

No need to be so negative. There's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm excited to get the new iPhone. It's shiny.

I don't think Microsoft needs to make a comeback when it comes to the OS. They're untouchable when it comes to OS sales. Apple makes more money, because they sell the hardware as well.
