This is quite a big nothingburger.

Why on earth would this bother you?

Why bother? When IPhone was special, there was a reason to remove that automatic info. But why do it now?

I believe there is a signature option in "settings."


On Apple products under 'Mail."

The "sent from my iphone" is usually a default phrase added to emails and posts on apps that the user needs to disable manually. Some just haven't done that.

I wonder if he told Apple this yet and will Trump pony up the money to transfer the factories and hundreds of thousands of workers used to make the I phone?

You have to remove it. If it is unimportant it wouldn't be worth finding out, how to do that.

To each their own. It's not yet a 'pet' peeve, more of a 'stray' peeve. You seem to have mastered your device.
 
I don't see the point of tapatalk. Site loads fine on my phone and tablet using chrome.

It is a great way to speed up reading by removing all the signatures people have added to their profiles. It also has unread view which helps find threads that are active.

Yes I know

Obama told you that manufacturing in America was dead and we were all going to be on welfare

But he was a welfare baby himself who never worked in the private sector

It must be quite a shock to liberals who worship the government and like not having a job because "manufacturing is dead in America and its not coming back" to learn that we can make stuff in America too

All it takes from the government is good leadership

What it takes is actually having a plan and understanding the supply chain and what is involved

The I phone is made in factories (assembled for the most part) that have over 100 000 workers in it working 12 hr shifts for 6 days a week. The supply chain is designed to support that efficiently and effectively. The cost to assemble the iPhone in China is very low and it is very efficiently shipped from those factories across the world.

To change that supply chain would disrupt that operation, and to assemble it in the US probably double the assembly cost.


Apple is not going to bring that part of the IPhone production to the US. It has brought some work on the I mac to the US, but that is a low volume item compared to the I Phone.

As for making stuff in the US. It is still the worlds largest manufacturer (might not be true with latest stats) by dollar value. The US makes a lot of stuff, it just happens to import more stuff than it exports

You say America is the world's largest manufacturer but we depend on china for much of the products we use every day.

We have jost millions of factory jobs than our country needs to bring back

The US produces about 10-12 million cars in the US out of 16-17 million sold I am not mistaken

Agricultural products, from chemicals to farm equipment the US produces and exports alot )

Chemicals in general, the US produces a lot of high value chemicals

It does not do labour intensive consumer manufactured goods (clothing, consumer electronics and a growing amount of low value auto parts)

The clothing industry is not coming back any time soon. It is slowly leaving south east China as that area is seeing costs due to labour become too high. So those plants are moving to central/western China and to places like Vietnam.

Consumer electronics are too competitive to do the final assembly in the US. High value parts can be made in the US like the chipsets but the final assembly is being done in factories with over 100 000 workers for the I Phone, at a cost per phone of less than $10 if I recall correctly. No western country could find a workforce that large willing to work those hours for less than 10 times what the Chinese workers are getting (based on what I read about 3 years ago things may have changed)

Germany and German companies train their industrial workers and ensure their skills are high enough to work on the higher tech industrial machines which helps make each of those workers more productive. They do not get laid off every other year or replaced because they are now to expensive. Germany is letting the low value production leave to other lower cost European countries while maintaining the high value higher skilled production in Germany. The US would have to abandon the short term per quarter profit motive as a guide for management and look at the long term overall profit for what you want to see change. Or for labour costs in the US to drop drastically to meet those in places like Mexico or China as examples

The object is to keep wages in the US higher than anyplace else - particularly china and Mexico

And the first step toward that goal is to keep basic manufacturing in the US

Yes costs will be higher but so will wages and so many more Americans can find good jobs that our consumer market will remain strong also
