having to outsource production is not exactly a sign of strength...let me break it down to you:
your economy is so "efficient" that you have to hire chinamen to produce a 1000$ phone...it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to hire americans to do it because the phone would cost 2000$ and apple would go bust...
same goes for most former american brands that now employ more chinamen then americans 
hows that good for your bubble economy again?

That's not true. The phone would still cost $1k if it was made in the US because the market wouldn't go for anything more expensive. The only thing that would change is that the profit margins wouldn't be at the insane levels they're at now.
