When China already makes all the Apple screens, but somehow the author thinks they managed to target Apple by, erm, continuing to make them.

- refulgentis 8y agoApple sources displays from Samsung, I assumed Samsung built them in Korea. Does Samsung do their manufacturing in China?
- ksec 8y agoOLED Screen? Zero as far as I know. Only Battery and small quantity of NAND.
- DennisAleynikov 8y agoHave you heard of the iPhone X? All screens were manufactured in Samsung's flexible OLED foundries
- ksec 8y agoBut it is not manufactured in China. Which was what I was referring to.
- GeekyBear 8y agoSamsung does own factories in China, including one factory that manufactures mobile displays. http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/report/64 http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/report/64
- adventured 8y agoChina doesn't make the Apple screens. Samsung and Japan Display make the screens (OLED and LCD). Samsung and Japan Display != China. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam != China. To target Apple in the sense that you're referring they'd have to go after South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan first, targeting Hitachi, Toshiba, Sony, Samsung and dozens of other companies directly or indirectly. That would draw in approximately the entire advanced electronics industry and every developed nation. Good luck with that. China's problem these days is that several other nations in Asia are rising to replace them as legitimate options for building electronics. Vietnam is producing half of Samsung's phones for example. Most of what China does can be done somewhere else. Plenty of developing countries are eager to take on hundreds of billions of dollars in invested capital to build out their domestic manufacturing.
- it_learnses 8y agoYeah why would Apple go to any Chinese manufacturer where they can get their tech stolen and imitated with encouragement from chinese govt?
