iPhone made in Hong Kong?

Okay, so I'm getting my 3Gs phone tomorrow (tomorrow? Yipes, I thought I wouldn't get it until next week) and I note that it's coming from Hong Kong.

The days of worrying about something "made in Japan" are long gone (and you youngsters wouldn't remember anyway) but... China? Are all iPhones made in China?

Does this worry anyone else?

LOL! Yes, luckily, the iPhone is not made for consumption!

The fact that it's made in China doesn't bother me. I agree that the QA standards are probably stringently enforced by Apple.

But with any MFG process, there will be duds. My only experience with warranty and Apple has been 100% positive. My MacBook's sound board went out and the DVD was bad. They replaced both within a couple of days free of charge.

Why does it matter if it's made in China? Apple isn't going to sell a product that is poorly made, they do have a little bit higher standards than the majority of companies out there.

Almost all consumer electronic products are made somewhere in China these days.
