Does anyone ever feel conflicted supporting a foreign company (Samsung) vs. a home grown American Company (Apple). While I am a strong supporter of Android and always will be sometimes I feel Un - American not supporting an American Company. I think we can all agree that Samsung probably did copy to some degree. Nonetheless, I more than anyone do not like Apple and their culture/products. I guess my patriotism is tugging at me!
BTW, I come from a 2 platform household. I am Android, my wife and 2 daughters are Iphone. I have tried to convince/sway them over to Android but they are not having any of that. In a way I am glad as the first sign of trouble I would be blamed for them going with Android.
Other than their home office and their storefronts what is American about Apple?
It will always amaze me when people state that if Apple brings all manufacturing to the US our prices will double and sometimes tripple. This is not even close to true. The problem here ladies and gentlemen is that Apple (especially) nor any company that built it's success from hard working American dollars no longer pratice the patriotism they should. Apple could very well manufacture every part of the the Iphone right here in the US and not raise the price one penny and still profit 50 billion in one year. But the problem lies in the market and the downright greed of the investor. If Apple doesn't meet it's profit goals of 78+ billion but still makes a substantial profit of 50billion the investor is still angry and the stock price falls. I mean who fusses about 50 billion in NET?.. In other words if we band together and fight against the greed and corruption of the system then we all win. Isn't it sickening to you that if a companies stock price falls 15% the first thing that is cut is the people that helped the company grow in the first? What ever happening to a rises stock due to the sustainablity and long life existence? That doesn't work anymore because if you don't beat that record breaking 78 billion you lose!!!
Their logo was designed by an American firm. LOL

I don't have a problem buying a foreign froduct from a foreign company...and I am a pure breed American Chevy and V-Twin chopper guy...and I DO NOT shop at Wal-Mart, ever!!!!
I will not buy products from a company that has all their stuff made over seas and claims to be a true American company.
You better look into where your "pure breed American Chevy and V-Twin chopper" are made then. Most Harley's and Chevy's are assembled in the US, sure, but the parts are just as internationally sourced as Apples products are. When the Toyota Camry ranks as the most 'American Made' car in the US your argument has some issues.
The amount of misguided jingoism when it deals with 'buying American' is almost comical, the fact is the world is a much smaller place and the reality is there are very few products made in and by a single nations workforce of any type.
