> I often heard YouTube comments claim that one got crappy Chinese products because of they paid cheap price. I don't have much experience in buying items directly from China (I bought a drill and impact drive from AliExpress, have been OK); want to learn your experience.
I think that's the nuance that other people miss. Cheap stuff is cheap for a reason and they break. We have all purchased expensive Chinese stuff that work well but we don't attribute them to China because of the shiny non-Chinese logo on them (i.e. Apple, etc.) Anker is a new generation of Chinese companies that is trying to build a brand and move up market. Their stuff have been superb but aren't bargain bin prices.
- BTCOG 6y agoThis is a constant misunderstanding of supply and products origin. Just because an iPhone is "made" in China does not mean it's a Chinese phone. Apple have rigorous standards of quality control and factory management, they have oversight. A Chinese product, would be something that is designed in China and also made by Chinese production. Those are the Chinesium that have little to no quality control and are Chinese products. iPhones are not Chinese products, they are being built in China to Apple standards. I would agree with you that Anker seem to make nice products of a higher quality.
