Abdullah is an ardent believer in the future of VR, and can't wait to see what more it brings to the table as technology improves. He enjoys covering new software releases in the XR industry, as well as major news about hardware and companies focused on VR.

recently went viral on social media platform X. The footage shows Cook claiming that companies didn’t move manufacturing to China to cut down on costs. The reception was…as you’d expect.

Some people straight up said that Cook was lying. Others agreed, while adding that they — the U.S. in this case — had fallen behind China. More yet pointed out how today Apple had moved manufacturing to other countries that also provided cheap manufacturing.According to Cook, the type of products companies like Apple make require very high skill and complex tools. These companies found China to be the perfect place to move their operations to because of the aforementioned “quantity of skill”.

There’s also been talk of how major companies moving to China resulted in corporate espionage. To put it mildly, the accusation goes like this: Western companies gave China an advantage in tech just to make a quick buck. We’ll have to see if Apple really does need China for its skill set, especially now that iPhones are being banned in certain places within China for cybersecurity.
