      Well, yes, that’s how it works. What’s the problem? We should have 500 factories cranking out pollution and waste vs. the cream of the crop rising up?

        That’s not really how it works. I would bet most of these companies were building their phones in the same factories as other small time brands. It’s not like they were all making their own chips and capacitors and assembling every last piece.
