Comment on Apple customers are paying 16 times more for a chinese product sold 25 bucks

What do you mean “the same city”? What does this statement say about the quality of the chip? I get when you say " the same factory" or “the same company” but “the same city” says nothing. Isnt lots of different tech produced in a few chinese cities?

if they’re talking about Shenzhen, that’s like the electronics manufacturing capital of the world, most we buy are partly or fully made there

  But commenter is right. Just cuz it’s in the same city doesn’t mean it’s the same quality. If they’re made with the same components, that’d carry more weight than simply being made in the same city.

Weird take. Regardless of where the Apple memory was made, its quality isn’t 16x better.

  Tuborg and Carlsberg are also made in the same city. Doesn’t make them the same beer.

  I mean, yes, obviously. Still, “made in the same city” is a wierd description implying that all ram produced there has the same quality.
