Reading this site on iPad and chrome activates an ad/dialog that sends me to luckyguys-dot-top, which locks my iPad in a never-ending series of “Congrats lucky iPad user!” dialog boxes.

Same for Safari on iPhone.

Samsung already makes most of their phones in Vietnam. Not a huge difference, other than the lack of tariffs.

China can do without Samsung phones, the market is a political stake against Samsung and Korea, but their OLED and RAM are needed there, at least for now.

I wonder why more producers haven't made this move? If Vietnam is there as far as infrastructure goes and they have the skilled/unskilled labor why is this not a more popular move.

Also when we say "make" I assume we mean "assembles".

Somewhat anecdotally I recently purchased a laptop and tried to find one that wasn't made in China and it was nigh on impossible.

Not even President Trump can make Apple do that
