I have a folder in my email that is called iCrap. Everything from Apple goes straight in there, unread.
What's up with all this iCrap?

A marketing gimmick seeking to engage those that don't (a) understand precise metrology and (b) can't use a an analogue device.
Our tools are made all around the world, not just China.
Many of our kits are assembled here in California (because they contain parts made in Taiwan, China, Pakistan, Germany, Italy, and the USA). I have also handmade 1,000's of specialty tools for iFixit myself, in my workshop at home on homemade jigs and tools. iFixit branded tools are designed in-house, and the molds are owned by iFixit. It takes 30-90 days for the Chinese to start copying anything new we put out. They are all watching us closely because we're one of the only companies actually developing new tools, not just picking out of a catalog.
Here's some of our guys in San Luis Obispo California assembling iFixit toolkits right now, 10 feet from the office where they were designed.
Thanks for educating me. I didn't realize this was the case. Good to know!

Why not simply unsubscribe? Unless somehow it makes you feel better not being part of the "in" crowd. "I'll dump it into a folder! That'll show 'em!"
Apple is kind of the Knipex of computers. Better in many ways, but you pay a premium. Still, I've never understood the Apple haters. I associate it with the kind of person who drives a truck with a peeing Calvin sticker on it.

I have unsubscribed. But it seems you can't unsubscribe completely if you have an apple device. You have to have an iTunes account, even if you don't use it. I just checked that folder, there were just 6 emails in April. Sometimes it's just simpler to send the spam from companies you deal with to a folder that you clean out once a blue moon than to go online and "manage" your account. And I don't hate Apple any more than any company that send me spam.
