Ever since Apple products started being made in China (like everything else), I lost respect for the company.
Why pay 2-3x more for a product that has the following built-in faults?
1. Easy to break, headphone jack breaks, flimsy plastic.
2. Never has all of the features expected, requires lots of updates, no ability to send picture messages in first 3-4 generations of iPhones!
3. Proprietary software with built-in spyware, reporting and advertising software in the o/s. (advertises your GPS locations to various Apple affiliates)
I'm waiting for the time to buy a all network Droid with all of the spyware/gps/cloud software hacked OUT of it.
