I’d only buy apple since they are keeping the QC at the same level

Problem is that apple might increase price if they are stuck with the same terrible QC that the indian manufacture is giving them.

Apple's india manufactured hardware failed apple's own QC at about 50% (compared to under 1% from china).

I think there's a stigma when production shifts to a new country. I remember comments about Japanese stuff being terrible and how if you want quality you should buy stuff made in the USA. Once things started getting shifted to China, then it's how everything made in China is terrible and you should buy stuff made in Japan only!

The first few generations of Korean cars had the same stigma, at least for the cheapest stuff.

While I don’t disagree with your history of the stigmatization of the producing countries, I feel that you kinda point out that previously stigmatized production countries rose above those stigmas. Why not India?

I feel it'll take time. A lot of young people don't know about the past Japanese products' bad reputation. Even China hasn't risen above the stigmas yet.
