But Apple cocked up. They also give preference to Americans.

Yeah, damn that American company with American designers based in American for selling their wares at home first. Bastards.
 
Hahaha, got my good laugh of the day.

Until someone throws the name Ives in my face, but you know, if he wants, he can leave and build is own company on the Thames.

I'm not advocating it or anything, but you know, just saying.
 
So i have been thinking after todays world wide release delay and have been pondering the real reason behind it, i dont take the "due to overwhelming US demand" crap as by Apple's own figures they have only sold an extra 150k since launch day.

To fully understand the issue, I suggest you get an MBA degree with a specialty in supply chain logistics. It's not a simple subject. And companies can and have lost million of dollars per day by ramping production rates too much or too little. Probably none of the MBA's in Apple's manufacturing arm wants to do that and get fired.

Pretty much every company gives preference to their home country.

As we should! The germans get cars that we never even get:(
