Who makes China and Iran's "iPhones?"

Who made the components for North Korea's "iPhone" clone?

Iran is not supposed to have iPhones. Wonder who makes them.

Another similar article with links to the released documents.

The decision to reverse the sanctions on ZTE are, I would argue, related to these much bigger questions about who is knowingly encouraging these larger exchange networks. ZTE dropped names.

Back when Q was asking if Jack was scared, I would imagine that it is related to all of this. ZTE was one of the smaller fish in the pond who got caught and was twisted until ready to start talking. China's government is also starting to play ball against the cabal.

I think it is bigger than this. Apple is likely knowingly running a number of manufacturing proxies and selling to regions under sanction. Apple, itself, having become a limited hangout for state intelligence services which have used such operations to fuel black accounts and to control war and therefor further leverage investments and the course of trade/industry.

Apple is curiously mum about pursuing its rogue distribution chains, while having no problems flash-banging small businesses who create knock-offs in China or who think up a square button with a chamfer on the corners.
