  • If Apple made iPhones in America now it would only cost about 50$ more to make each one.

  • if i new my ps3 was made in north america and they paid there employees righ ti would have been willing to pay 600 for it i paid 300

  • Funny how its not even 4G

  • youtube is suggesting some pretty old defranco lately

  • Lol this shits old

  • I would rather buy one made in the us and they should not make nothing in those country's like china.

  • the common sense mafia.... Awesome!

  • Good thing I don't have any apple products. And this here just adds another reason for keeping it that way, actually for me personally THE most important reason. I don't give much of a damn about people's lives. But that doesn't mean I want to support slavery. Keep your new technoligical breakthrougs, I can live without them. I'm not willing to support this kind of corporate management.

  • In all honesty, people would pay 2-3 times more for the top smart phones. It would become a statous thing "look at my expensive phone" !!!!!!

  • Brilliant

  • phil they still are playing prerolls before your videos

  • must... have... IPOD TOUCH!!!! sorry. can't resist

  • Comment removed

  • The iphone 4 is not 4G

  • You are unable to afford iphone? Check out giveaway at gifter7 . com Take your chance NOW

    I like it

  • thumbs up for the Hot girls at the end. well except for the last dude

    .. yea, except for him :S wow

  • There's no reason for most phones to be the price they are, including the iphone 4. The companies are banking on cheap labor and overpriced devices. Even if red84ro is right and living is cheap over there, companies will outsource to people that will turn a product around for the biggest profit. Companies are rarely about working conditions or employee happiness, even employee retention and safty is just there for profit and to cover their own ass.

  • I hate to say it but I will still buy it. Sigh I'm going to he'll aren't I

  • WOW they make 160$ a month and everything is dirt cheep there? Boo Hoo Hoo

    Most government workers here now make from 160 up to 200$.

    Most nurses here make160$ a month and to 250$

    Milk here is 1.60$/liter bread 60cents a kilo of meat is about 5$ and rent starts from 250$ so yeah boo hoo hoo

  • I wouldn't buy any of those products even if they were made in Ethiopia for free.

  • even if the price of the apple crap(i call it crap coz thats is to me) doubled, ppl would still go out and buy it. coz ppl who have ipads and iphones now, most got themcoz every1 thinks there awsome. and funny enough the apple products now are kinda overpriced compared to wat u get with it.

  • lol ima pc

  • shut ur ass up you prick

  • You know why there are multiple generations to of apples products. Not because they didnt know a faster slimmer what-ever would sell better but because they know we would run out and buy each generation. If wages went up and prices when up they would actually have to come up with something truly impressive for us to go out and buy a new one. And we would have to consider do I really have to go out and by a new ipod when my old one works just fine. If anything is like rape its consumerism.

  • I would still buy them, other wise how would they pay them, and if it were american id probably resort to stealing. haha :D

  • uh yeah we all know this. . but still it is what it is. What else it is . . I got an iphone 4g for FREE. Did a trick that my friend taught my. Check out my profile to see exactly how its done.

  • I'd easily spend double the price for a northamerican made product

  • Dude if people actually cared for sweatshops nobody would wear shoes. at all.

  • Sweat shops seem like terrible things and they can be but at the same time most sweat shops provide chops to people that didnt have them before and allow those people to at least eat something

  • if the people making it are barely getting paid, i should barely pay them for their products. cheap bastards overcharging the consumers and running sweat shops making thousand percent profits.

  • Let's face it...most of our shit is made in "sweat shop conditions"

  • Maybe someone need a pay cut? My goodness! You know carma is a B#&%^, what goes around comes around, you reap what you sew, and all that stuff. Ohh it wwiillll come around, it will.

  • Wow, I just jailbroke my iPhone, check it out watch?v=fROEvgj1RV0

  • it depends on the product

  • I heard the iphone the newest one is a crap. Just the other day I went to get a new IPod touch because my old one was stolen, and over 60 people were in Apple trying to get their money back. Some coming back for a third time because they were giving another phone then came back given another and now they just want their money back. But my Ipod touch works great honestly.

  • You are exceptionally entertaining to watch sir. ^_^

  • Do you want to win new iphone 4g completely FREE? Check out gifter7, com!

  • If they charged a proper minimum wage rate, it would not force the product to go up in price- the profit they make would more than cover a minimum wage for everyone. The only reason they don't want to pay properly, is because then the profit margin wouldn't be as incredibly as high as it is (which even at the lowest, would still be incredibly high). Unfortunately, because of stakeholders, stocks, shareholders, etc.... forces corporations to make the bottom line (profit) the number one priority.

  • @afroza2007 true thats why i think we should have a tarrif against countrys that do not have worker rights such as a minimum wage it allows american and other worker rights countrys to compete and gives america extra tax money and hopefully forces these companys to instate more worker rights even if there was a price raise it would be worth it

  • @lonewolfM16 too bad the government only listens to rich people, or a huge amount of "armed" poor people. In this case, the government is only gonna listen to the corperations...

    and too little people really care about this situation since it is not happening in your country, so that is very unlikely to happen at this point.

    the people of that country will fight for their own rights someday, this only happened because the wage is still considered relatively high in that country.

  • @lonewolfM16 if what you think really happens, there would be a huge impact on the corperations in your country, and your government/fellow countrymen won't be happy to see that. so it's very very unlikely to happen.

    anyway, the life conditions in that country will get better over time, and wages/the way corperations treat their employees/the fines for pollution will change, but the costs enhance at the same time, and after a decade the corperations would go to another country to rip off people.

  • phil how old are you?

  • where can i get money back for this phone? i get drop calls

  • @JoanneRuskin well everyphone will drop a call no matter what the iphone is not a super phone.

  • Shit! it Worked

  • hahahahahaahahahahaah the bigining (cries) hahahahahaha

  • 49 minutes ago

    click my name and the link to my website tankthewade/blogspot/com on my page to see how to get an iphone 4g for *FREE

  • lol at the beginning...AHHHHHH

  • @dbrandinni I completely agree, I would be willing to pay more soely because we're getting jobs back to America.

  • If it was more for American workers, I would buy it at the higher price, Just to support American economy and families

  • $160 a month for them is not the same as $160 for americans. If they were to get paid the same amount as americans they wouldn't know what do do with it all. It's all to do with their cost of living vs ours. I don't imagine for 1 second that they're paying them well, but it's probably getting them by.

  • It's called iphone 4? not 4g?

  • @PeterFoldberg Only Philly D gets the 4g.

  • you remind me of askaninja who was hilarious!

  • i would hate for the prices to get doubled cause i cant afford them at the prices that they are now i just think they should hire more workers and lessen the hours

  • 2:56

    TENSO.

  • ofc azns made em

  • I kno its not the point of the video...but the girl at 2:50 is sexy :P

  • Apple just sucks in general, their is so much shit that they COULD have done but they CHOSE not to.. Fuck apple.

  • screw zipperheads make them work longer shifts to make the expensive apple crap cheaper :)

  • I love the outro. It zooms in on the dudes face a lot.

  • id force chinese children to work 42 hour shifts if i could get a cheaper price

  • @pollyguns fucking retard

  • Phil sucks

    

  • umm ppl APPLE isnt the only company doin this...most of the products u buy that are made in foriegn countries are made there becuz its BUSINESS....if u wanna bring a product to a group of ppl who are interested in CHEAP then u have to cut ur production costs...which usually means abuse in pay to foriegn workers...thats one reason american economy is so messed up...there are decreasing numbers of domestic manufacturers..all of the companies are moving to foriegn countries becuz labor is cheap

  • @num1rocker lol good point but i def dont call apple cheap in any sense. they are just making an even bigger profit cause they already rip people off just because of the product name. I'm really just sick of hearing about this shitty phone

  • send me ur email and i give you invite to lockerz please im jsut a few points from iphone 4G!

  • @Ambar88 It doesn't cost twice as much its like $100 bucks more than an Xbox

  • i like them even more now ..

  • Apple customers are plain stupid...kinda like republicans.

  • that's horrible, I already boycott apple products because I hate them... well except my ipod but I probably won't buy a new one now, thats horrible. Someone is taking to much money here, if the higher up people just accepted some cuts in their pay they could totally keep prices almost the same, probably a little higher but doable. They just being greedy as a mofo.

  • how about the fact they only make 134dollars a month and it cost more than 100dollars for ANY APPLE PRODUCT!

  • i love how all these new apple products come out and then there's something wrong with it everytime, yet i have a first generation ipod and it still works after getting beat

  • he sux

  • @PhantomFive how many subs do you have? not 500,000+....

  • 2 things number 1 apple products are crap in general i wont buy anything other then an ipod/itouch and number 2 the other products like xbox's are shit as well look at the failure rate in xboxes and ps3 and they both have similar issues so paying more for someone to make a GOOD piece of hardware would be nice.

  • Yes i will keep buying them, the cost of average living(while poorer that ours) is a fraction of ours and the wage is proportional to such. Its probably more than they make anywhere else in their country

  • @martian712 they work 34 hour shifts, sleep at the factory and barely own anything... how big of a douche you have to be to still think they live in humane conditions!?!?

  • iPhoney costs less then $189 to make. Paying double? > no way! Made by american employees? > Why? The actual question is if apple and other multi-national corporations are willing to make less profit over the expense of providing humane working conditions. Apple can still make them in ASIA and be as good as american made ones, they can still charge the average joe 650€ for it, but ARE THEY WILLING TO MAKE LESS BILLIONS FOR BEING HUMANE?

  • @emax27 Iphoney lol

  • I now have SO the argument against apple products

    and i dont posses a single one

    so yay me

    i just go and invest the money i saved in some cheap T-shirts

    there can be nothing wrong with that ???

  • author is a fucking freak!

  • iPhone 4 beta signup is now avaiable through

    iphone4gbeta.blogspot com

    You're redirected, you sign up, and when you're contacted you'll recieve the iPhone 4 for testing, then you can keep it :D I got mine two days ago shipped :D

  • Dropped calls with your iPhone4G?

    Steve Jobs, "You're holding it wrong." (This is not a joke)

  • Apple is over priced and this makes it worse. Jobs, you suck

  • I know there's an iphone 4 not 4G?

  • wow I would think the iphones do not live to their full potential if there made and assembled the way they are

  • WTF!!! someone shot Miley Cirus!! no pop star should wear a cheep trick shirt!!

  • you and your voice are annoying.

  • I don't buy apple schtuff anyways sooo...

  • So they work for 34hrs and there's still no fukin white iPhone 4

  • @LaughingItUp09 i agree :s

  • modern day slavery

  • Fifteen mintues of rape! Ahh that killed me!

  • all i can say my good man is peanutbutter!!!

  • no phil stop wearing blue shirts then i will maybe consider commenting on your videos

  • EMS personel, military personel, Cops, Miners, Oil rig workers... They all work WAY longer than 32. An ex-girlfriend was an EMT in california, and often worked 72 hour shifts. I myself worked a 34 hour shift in recent memory. Unless that employee were lifting hundreds of pounds at a time, repeatedly, for 32 hours, exhaustion had a small part to play in her ultimate demise. Sad, but not normal.

  • 72 hours without sleep is dangerous. Mentally, your decision making capability goes to hell at the same time as your reaction time. Problem solving ability and multi tasking ability is impeded. You become neurotic and enter an altered, emotionally unstable state. You get mean, cranky, silly, or manic, with no control or predictability.

    TL;DR

    Your ex girlfriend is a LIAR, she might have worked 72 hour weeks, but not 72 hours non stop, that is what happened to the chink

    Also you are stupid

  • @2007bmpgti I Call Bullshit

  • Nooooooooooooo PICTURE IF IT WAS U

  • its just so shitty how apple sells their products for like 50 times what it costs to make and it's even worse how people are dumb enough to buy them

  • dont blame the iphone blame the new 360 lol

  • Except what those workers are getting paid (as ridiculously low as it is) is more than they would get paid if they worked somewhere else...and no one would pay more for citizens in other countries...cuz we're Americans...and we don't care deep down

  • YES, WHY? CAUSE FUCK OTHER COUNTRIES.

  • I just don't buy crap i don't need. I have a phone that looks like a brick! lol

  • Well it's not really fair they make all the good stuff but I think that they should pay them more money

  • Yeah I'd continue to buy Apple products, but not the iPhone 4.

    I don't get why people are excited about the new iPhone...

    1) It's ugly. I personally liked the beveled back much better than the two sided, flat, glass surfaces.

    2) The only new features are iOS4 (which- I believe- can be downloaded onto any earlier model), an A4 processor, and front-video chatting (which you can only use with another iPhone 4 owner, conveniently enough)

    3) There will be a new "better" one next year...

  • Yes, I would still buy it.

    No, I wouldn't buy it if its double price.

    Apple products are already overpriced...

  • unsubscribe 

  • maybe if its better quality...

  • if the products were made in the U.S. i wouldn't care if it was triple the sweat shop price i would buy the American products! God Bless America!!!

  • Here's a point. If the sweatshops a closed then all these people are thrown out of work. Yes they should be payed more but the sweatshops shouldn't be closed as this would end up with the workers in an even worse situation.

  • QOTD:

    1. Yes, 2. No.

  • hahahaha i had fun to listen the story. thx man.

  • actually if greedy greedy company's didnt want to make more then 100% profit on all there products then we might be able to buy stuff at just double price

  • yes and thats the reason i bought the 55 inch samsung was for the reason of watching point of view porn...and i have to say its worth the 3500 i spent !

  • @smokejoker951 POV owns.

  • i would pay more, buy less

  • Nobody mention, that the Apple products are ridiculously overpriced, so... No, we do not need to pay more for those, Steve just should be less of an iGreedy, an pay more to those guys. Apple would be good, even if they give to them twice as much. Yes, many more companies are making advantage of some other guys in some other countries, but I believe that this it is most significant with Apple. Where is CSR now?

  • Well, DUH I wouldn't buy it, it would be like $12,000 for a xbox right now! (Which sell for around 160 on ebay)

  • Apple Profits: 95% Steve jobs 4% his family 1% everyone else in apple. Pretty lame about the overpriced shit

  • id pay more

  • Amazing

  • song name?

  • @Foodstrength754

    Me to, Skipped the 3gs update from my 3g, because I think the 4th gen will be worth the upgrade alot more.

    A lot of you Reading this comment don't have the money to afford Apples latest iPhone, since it will be $497

    Your in luck I realized on the Apple website Sunday they are giving away a ton of iphone 4gs. Also, heres the link to their contest site ... just copy and paste

  • @jordisanchis Secondly, you are assuming that everyone should have the right to purchase an iPhone, when, in reality, it is just as not everyone can purchase a Lamborghini. It is, in fact, a luxury; however, many people in the United States have decided to sacrifice.

    All in all, no, the pay is not equal. However, it does need to put to equal terms in order to compare the merits of the companies that own the "sweat shops."

  • @jordisanchis Yes, I am not saying that it is a decent pay rate. But, to the average Joe, sxephil forgot to equalize everything when he made his comparisons. Essentially, what he said was the following:

    If a bushel of apples cost $5 dollars in one country and $7 in another, the apples in the first country were objectively cheaper. However, if the average income in the first country is two dollars less than that of the second, the apples are objectively equal.

  • dont no id not want tp pay more maybe get more tec to billed them not ppl

  • Honestly I'm too addicted to the products not to buy them. But I would be willing to pay more if they were made in america.

  • if it were made by americans, it shouldn't cost more. they can take their profit margin, and SHOVE IT!!!

  • FUCK no, I'm not buying those products that's hella reprehensible

  • Good points 

  • There is no reason for these products to be costing so much in the first place. Corporate greed has been out of control for so long we seem to just except it now without even asking WTF. It's going to continue getting worse. Whatever it takes to make the shareholders happy right?

  • I really hate Krystin Stewart. I wish that she would get shot because fame is nothing like being raped. rape is an incredibly terrible thing and if she really wants to say that then maybe she should be raped. that dumb fuck-whore cant even act so she should go walk down a dark alley with some bloods or crypts or something and get killed.

  • if cheryl tweedy makes a sex tape im going to be up for 36 hours

  • Your voice is so annoying.. OOIOIYOIOYIOYI

  • if we were to have all those jobs over here then it would stimulate the economy and thus make us more able to buy those more expensive products...

  • I want your theme song.

  • hm, I don't own any of those apple products, and I most definitely won't buy any of them.

  • PHIL!!!! You're a douche, you ignore me on Call of Duty when I ask if it's actually you and you don't respond???? What a DOUCHE!!!!!

  • try beeing a doctor down in mexico...shifts are 36 hrs... and if u messed it up..they ground you 6 more hours....u cant sleep anywhere,,.u dont have permission to sleep..you gotta keep being fresh to watch more and more patients..and im not lying.. the hospital its called hospital general .
