These days, there is rather little in electronics products that isn't made in China. Actually, also most manufactured goods. Can't beat labor prize and workers' rights and labor conditions and environmental restrictions there. > Perhaps the junk products were the ones that failed Apple's QA checks. Or whole product lines or suppliers. It's not just Apple. For stuff like the iPhone, Apple basically OEMs whole factories. For stuff like the Thunderbird/USB adapters, they likely just OEM products (though they probably get the exterior produced according to Apple design). But basically every computer manufacturer produces in China (including Japanese and Korean ones), and tablets and smartphones are also usually made there. Let alone all of the cheap electronic gizmos. The quality more or less is defined by how much involvement the companies have for QA during and after production. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
