And is Apple paying for relocation ?

Probably not.

Yet we’re all still paying $1500 for iPhones.

And is Apple paying for relocation ?

To answer your question, yes.

Those who don’t relocate will receive four weeks of severance and another week for every year at the company. Those who will relocate have been offered $7,000 to assist the move.

I wonder what the comparative cost of living is ?
