   I checked with Tmobile recently and it's like $479 for an iphone right now   
   (latest version I guess) so if that price isn't ridiculous enough, what is?   
      
   Android phones are primarily (I might be wrong) made in China too. I'm   
   wondering why all the fuss about iphones? Shouldn't Trump be demanding that   
   Android phones be made in the USA also?
