Ok, there's lots of backlash to this on here but I think the focus is a little wrong.
No, it doesn't make sense to use the cost of the manufactured item as a benchmark - it's not completely relevant as has already been pointed out.
You could look at it a different way. We are in a very privileged position - I'd bet almost everybody here could walk out and buy an ipad right now if they wanted to. The people in these factories are not so lucky.
The numbers just give a little perspective to reality of what's going on.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I thought I'd just present the numbers and let people interpret them, but I guess I should've been more concise.
