I do not doubt this for a second.
OTOH, recently we've even seen quality on Apple's Mac products deteriorate noticeably. Assuming Apple is extremely good at this strict QA, I wonder if some sort of China manufacturing sea-change has occurred.
- quicklyfrozen 7y agoHas Apple's assembly quality declined? Feels more like design issues to me (e.g. keyboard, flexgate, overheating).
- HillaryBriss 7y agomaybe that's a better question to ask. IDK. Apple's recent quality problems may involve problematic design more than fabrication/assembly/manufacturing. could be, I guess.
