You don't have to be a SMARTAZZ!
I've never owned a iPhone because I've always thought they were overpriced. So, no, I haven't had a chance to look on the back of one.
I do know the main office is in CA, so assumed it was made here. That is what is wrong with the USA now, they outsource everything to other countries.
No wonder our economy is bad now.
So out of curiousity, I googled:

Lol exactly in the end its assembled in china. Imagine an all american phone, having every single part being made here in America. That would br great! The only downside is that there is no way it wouldnt cost 1500 unlocked. Thank our government! About to hit that debt ceiling of 17 trillion whoooo peee! Sorry im venting im just mad that so many americans complain about the way our economy is headed yet they put our Kenyan friend back in office.
