The word "Computer" was removed from its name on January 9, 2007,[6] as its traditional focus on personal computers shifted towards consumer electronics.[7]Fortune magazine named Apple the most admired company in the United States in 2008, and in the world from 2008 to 2012.[8][9][10][11][12] However, the company has received widespread criticism for its contractors' labor practices, and for Apple's own environmental and business practices.[13][14][15]As of July 2011, Apple has 364 retail stores in thirteen countries[16] as well as the online Apple Store and iTunes Store.[17] It is the largest publicly-traded corporation in the world by market capitalization, with an estimated value of US$626 billion as of September 2012.[18][19] The Apple market cap is larger than that of Google and Microsoft combined.[20][21] As of September 24, 2011, the company had 60,400 permanent full-time employees and 2,900 temporary full-time employees worldwide;[3] its worldwide annual revenue in 2010 totaled $65 billion, growing to $108 billion in 2011.[3]Reference:http://bullishcross.com/apple-the-most-undervalued-large-cap-stock-in-america/

Summary: means more money in consumers’ pocketshaving cheaper production costs means cheaper products which means the consumers have extra money left in their pockets to put back independently into their country's economiesAccording to an article, "100 million iPhones have been made, at an average savings of $65 each. That's $6.5 billion in extra consumer value, which gets split between Apple's shareholders in the form of higher profits, and Apple's consumers, in the form of lower prices."Reference:

Summary:China graduates more than 3x the number of engineers per year than the US (600,000 per year)Ph.D.s in China are hired at 1/10 of the cost as in USChina’s government is offering huge relocation allowances and salaries to Chinese-born, US-trained scientists and engineersChina’s new Five-Year Plan targets 22 areas where it hopes to promote increased R&D spending. (For 2013 estimated $220 billion.)China's new five-year plan targets 22 urban development areas where it hopes to promote increased R&D spending."The R&D expenditure goal of three percent of the GDP was set up by the Chinese government as a target," said Richard Jun Li, China research director at Lux Research. "But in 2010, the R&D expenditure in China was around $110 billion, which accounted for only 1.76 percent of the Chinese GDP of $6.218 trillion.”the United States, which is expected to spend approximately $405.3 billion in 2011U.S. firms can also hire Ph.D.s in China at one-tenth of what they cost in the U.S. Expanding R&D and joint manufacturing in China also makes it easier for U.S. companies to develop products and services aimed at Chinese consumers. U.S. tech and drug firms do this by hiring Chinese staffers who have a homegrown sense of what local consumers want. China's government is wooing many top Chinese-born scientists from the U.S. with relocation allowances up to $146,000 and annual salaries of $250,000, the Christian Science Monitor reported in May.
