Dang, I guess jingo FUD is all the American mainstream retail brands have left these days... I superglued the little nibs into a refurb Nexus 10 that I got for $100 and a Shenzen special rugged phone (that amusingly had a bad listing in whatever IMEI database so Google and my telco thought I was using some old 2G phone) that I also got for $100. The cables would have been poo poo exactly like Shaggar says if I wasn't willing to glue them in. Also, after about a year of use I had to re-glue the gold sheath on the plug because it had come loose and I did have to clean some metal filings off of the magnets one time, but idk if those were from the connectors or from some other source because I do sometimes file metal in the same locale where I am charging my poo poo. However, being able to easily find the cable in the dark and snap it in place one handed without really thinking about it is really convenient compared to fiddling with a micro USB connection.

(their wall warts are really very impressive inside!) 2. it's not a race thing china is a one-party state marked by endemic corruption. the court systems do not function for any foreign party, or any suit with a particularly well-connected defendant. it is routine for unscrupulous dealers to contaminate the domestic food supply, to say nothing of consumer goods made for export in the united states, if you burn your customers houses down, you get sued, and possibly prosecuted. in china, if your products burn american houses down, nobody notices or cares a key quibble: nothing from china with a UL symbol can be trusted, because UL has no ability to enforce their trademark in china.

Yeah I paid ten bucks a pop for those magsafe cables. I also buy Chinese rugged phones for reasonable prices. They don't have the ridiculous overengineered SoC horsepower that is so in vogue in the US cellular market because I guess people need 4GB of RAM on an octocore blah blah blah for their Candy Crush? However, for something that I use for emergency communications and the occasional map they do the job for a reasonable price. The problem is that what I want is not available from the mainstream American market because the American business community has gone full retard. Don't even get me started on the region locked LTE radios. That's not even to mention the goddamn bundled apps.

lol k, no name China android phones are basically the same as iPhones, cause they are both made in China. software is irrelevant and Qualcomm is somehow not a piece of poo poo. the phones that have been repeatedly found to be insecure and call home are actually fine, because it’s cheaper, and there’s no difference between trusting no-name corporations with razor thin margins (who are not obliged to care about our laws in the same way) and Apple
