#iPhone #China #COVID19
And this is what Walker wanted in Wisconsin 🤦♀️
You all know how it is….profits over simple human compassion!
Bring it back to America!
GOP fought to bring Foxconn to Wisconsin. Total fail.🤬
You mean Apple’s slaves are fleeing !!!!!!!! the HORRRA !!!
The liberals will have a riot ! they need those Chinese slaves manufacture more iPhones
Disney and Apple, Who is next.??? Nike, CocaCola . Keep talking trash about sanctions over China if they go to invade Taiwan… Who will be affected…??? This is a demonstration of what could happen.
Don’t let them lie they accidentally created a self aware iPhone and it went rogue
1 thing I learned keep your money your not paying me enough cause I can’t buy back time or loved ones good for you people
2019 sounds like dream
China is a mess smh.
Bring home to your country all production of everything.
Only if they took the same approach when this whole thing started. 🤔
Thats why I stick with android, and android allows multiple manufacturers
If you have an apple product you support slavery and genocide and are human trash.
Apple sucks.
Bring apple jobs to the u.s.
Good !!!
Liberals would have the US looking like this if they had their way completely.
awwww. my Xmas is ruined
Apple should flee China and bring back the jobs to America.
Who cares about the holiday season sales drive, it’s just an iPhone, not an absolute necessity! Covid doesn’t discriminate, Apple can suffer shutdowns just like millions of other companies have over the past two years! Lives are still more important than a new iPhone!
1:13 The absurdity and the scope of control of the Chinese government is nightmarish
Maybe make sure your works aren’t treated worse than slaves.
Better make sure you have a case on your iPhone until this is over
Covid lol what a joke
Insanity…
American company should make their own products here and America problem solved
Conspiracy about to start
DEM PEEPLE DON WANA GT SIK
Moveeeee onnnnn!!!! People will most likely die in cancer n diabetes than this stupid covid. By the way, I don’t care about that iPhone.
The great reset is not coming it’s here.
this is why i don’t own or use any electronic devices or phones of any kind. i hand wrote this message and mailed it to nbc to post. hopefully they posted it
I think China is just doing it to control people’s lives.
Less iPhones? Oh no! Anyway-
We just outsource slavery now
and this is why apple charges you $1500 a phone?
1:08 “from toys to Tesla’s” so general to something so specific
BLAME IT ALL ON xi Ping pong and the wicked xi Xi pi
I work at a major retailer.. people go nuts when they can’t buy an iPhone 14..or Samsung or google pixel. Inventory is already never in stock
THIS IS HORRIBLE WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO THESE POOR WORKERS
*typed on my iPhone max 14
Zero covid policy worldwide please. We need more discipline!
The question I have to anyone that reads this comment at what cost do you value human life regardless of race color creed religion sexual orientation it doesn’t matter what costs it’s clear that are consumer addiction has caused this chaos and suffering of millions of people not just the ones in China but around the world. Remember smoke and mirrors is the magicians greatest tool.
LA VERDAD ES UN PATRIMONIO DE LA HUMANIDAD ONU.
Common China L
Modern Day Slavery!!!
Zero covid is impossible because covid is also a zoonotic disease and vise versa. This virus can pass back and forth from human to animal, and from animal to human. Not to mention mutate every 6 months. So zero covid is kind of a funny goal…
wait i thought covid was over
Bring it over here we’ll make them
Then your iPhone won’t be $800 anymore it will be $10,000 for them to make the same profit margin there paying there workers over there $2 a day
No cases its just a reason for the loose ones to flee before lockdown and more suicides
Yet foreign companies still heavily relies on China for everything.
Dealerships are rubbing their hands together waiting to jack up the prices of cars due to a ‘chip shortage’ as more workers flee other Chinese factories.
GOOD. Bring down the Apple empire. Every single iPhone user needs to see this.
Sooooo when does the new i-phone come out ??
Finally people will get the chance to see how much better Android phones are
How was this journalist allowed to walk around in Beijing with no mask on?
Meanwhile im getting texts daily about the 12 associates who caught it…
Im sorry for using an Iphone
It’s not apple or covid (flu).. it’s your guy’s constitution and government im sorry for the people there
only commies buy apple lolol
Don’t let this happen to you America.
Sweat shops and apple be selling products like nothing
The madness of an tyrannical government making arbitrary rulings is frightening. At any moment, dear leader can decree something and you’rejust supposed to take it. 🤮
I don’t get it why is this happening over there. But in USA no one’s wearing a mask and walking around too.
Foxconn is like slavery. I hear they prey upon immigrants trying to make an earnest dollar, many have to sleep on a cott by their work bench. There was an uprising of suicides from workers jumping off the roof. Instead up of raising the workers wages or improving the working/living conditions they just put up a net outside instead. Everytime I think of apple I think of the social injustices.
You shall die to make that company money. It doesn’t matter what happens. People need those IPhones…. 😏🤦♂️
They have nets around that building because people jump out of windows that’s how bad it is
and yet most of use in the US are more worried about getting a new iphone by tomorrow. ridiculous.
This is why everything should be made in the United States
😂😂
So the rest of the world pretty much gave up on Covid. The only way to keep it out of China is to stop letting anyone in or out forever. Good luck
This is Apple.
Its America’s fault. Bring all the U.S. companies back. Stop being cheap.
Bring those jobs back to the US
😜😭😜🤣🤣😭😭
I see this working to the benefit of the United States. Jobs will have to be brought back here.
God does cause everything to work for our good even covid.
All these Chinese lockdown is nothing more than an excuse to maintain people under control to cover up the reality of the total collapse in the Chinese economy. Big international corporations know what is coming and are rushing to relocate before it is too late and the Chinese government go into martial law. This is just the beginning of the end.🤨
Meanwhile I’m still using the iPhone 11 Pro
Oh but the “free hand of the market” is infallible. It’s perfect.No need for organized labor.
This factory is located in Shenzhen, China. Not that NBC intentionally did not mention it or anything by instead referring it to the “city where the factory is located…”
Quit being greedy and making stupid phones
Lol
Trump was right gina.
Flee flee now shift happen there
Do we need to bring back manufacturing, and do it better? Environmentally.
So glad I own Samsung Galaxy !
Good. Apple is trying to take over everything
Quite funny that everyone seems to think that just because they own a product produced in Asia that they cannot criticize the treatment of the workers who make it. A majority of you consumers prefer that the ugly side of manufacturing be invisible to you and just chant “they need to do it to make end’s meet”. That’s awefully convenient. Yeah, say whatever you want to make yourself feel better. At the end of the day, somebody slaved tirelessly to make the products all of us are using, only to earn a fraction of the same life that first worlders get to live.
The companies can afford to treat them better, especially Apple. If we did not have unions, labor movements and laws in place, all of north america would be exactly like this and all of you would absolutely be complaining, not licking boots.
So people’s lives are worth bonuses now?
People be like “that’s horrible” typing from their iPhones. 🤣
Everyone should stop by an apple
🍎 prisoners
Outsourcing…Who knew
Damn……I’m still gunna cop that new iPhone 14 though 😂
This is Slavery 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❓💯❓❓❓
Watching this on a Galaxy note 20 ultra
Need to stop buying Apple crap!
It’s a gas called hydrogen sulfide and the government is doing it on purpose
iPhone Are no good anyway
