- midas007 13y agoOEM/ODM contract manufacturers do most of the heavy lifting of figuring how to make things cheap. Most of the time they cut corners creatively and save everyone money and it works out, but sometimes the low-volume shops go too far and break functionality.
- coldtea 13y agoBecause Apple is notoriously secretive and it still uses China for manufacturing. And because it hasn't brought any litigation against some Chinese for something like this. So, even if they did lose something, it shouldn't have been much. Which means "making Tesla there == there go your trade secrets" is not necessarily correct.
