they make them there, I assume its the same racket as pharmaceuticals, made for pennies, sold to the west for thousands, sold to the locals for pennies, or someone is scalping them locally. who knows exactly, but they are not worth $1000, that is just the price westerners are willing to pay for them.

Chinese knockoff apple stores will literally sell you a straight up iPhone for a fraction of the price because the people who open those stores are the ones who build iPhones, so they know how to do it. And nowadays, they have honed their skills to the point that it's completely indistinguishable, they can even modify the android OS to be exactly the same as iOS. Thats if theyre not just selling actual real iphones they pocketed from the assembly line, but for 150 bucks instead of 1000+. There's 0 difference between a Chinese knockoff and the real deal. Sometimes they're not even knockoffs. Sometimes I love Chinese knockoff ingenuity.
In a lot of cases with third worlders with iphones, it's pure chinesium that they nabbed from online. But who am I to judge? I will judge them on many things besides this. Westerners pay 1000s of dollars for ostensibly the exact same fucking thing.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
I've noticed this over many years, the Germans are the best at solving problems, Americans are best at solving problems in reasonable ways, the Russians are best at solving problems in a way that the solution will never be a problem itself and will always work, the Japanese are the best at honing and perfecting solutions to the highest mastery, and the Chinese are the best at knocking off these solutions at 20% of cost but still 50% effectiveness.
