it's first step. you gotta do something to bootstrap, solve chicken-egg problem. From what I can see around me, the "made in america" is a no joke branding. a lot of pppl going tobuyjust because of that. and may even consider it as social status and their policial support.
- someperson 2y agoThe Purism Librem 5 phone is very expensive and unfortunately not that popular. Haven't met anyone who uses one yet
- MBCook 2y agoThat’s very niche. Very few people in the general population will have heard of them. Apple is well known. If they say the new iPhone SE 7 has a Made In America chip, people will know about it to buy if they care about that.
- cbozeman 2y agoAnd it's also a pile of shit compared to an iPhone or a Galaxy S device. There's your real issue right there. People are already paying $1199 for new phones. According to this article: https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/9/13/17851052/apple-iphone-price-china-trump-us-trade https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/9/13/17851052/apple-ipho... Another $100. That's a little over six years old now though, so bump it up to $200. Would I pay $1399 for an American made iPhone with American made internals, as the article suggests it would cost ($100, but I doubled it for inflation, because, why not?)? You bet your sweet ass I would.
