These iPhones are high-tech. I’m surprised they are made in the third world.

Shouldn’t they be made by expert technicians?
And almost everyone has one and they cost nothing… how is this possible?

The "First," "Second," and "Third" World terms emerged during the Cold War (1947-1991) to categorize nations based on political and economic alignment, not development levels. The First World was aligned with the US and capitalism, the Second World with the Soviet Union and communism, and the Third World comprised non-aligned nations. After the Cold War, the terms became obsolete, and "Third World" was often mistakenly associated with underdeveloped countries, though this is not its origin.

@Thevy29 interesting. Where did you learn this?

@Ferise1 I read about it ages ago and only remembered about a third of it. 😅 So I googled to get the exact details for you.
