Yes, Apple are also offshore products. As noted in recent report:
"Defective iPhone parts worth $43 million stolen, used to make new
iPhones ...The operation has reportedly been running for the past three
years. Workers would set aside defective parts for scrapping. However,
the components were later resold to a Taiwan business, raking in a hefty
sum of $43 million..."
Don't be surprised that defective PL259's somehow get "liberated" from
the offshore production facility and end up in your order.

Except that several REAL Amphenol UHF connectors I ordered, which

just fine.
I've seen that too, no more than one bad one in a 100-pc order.

So are Apple and Lenovo, both known for very good quality.

Maybe not say more, but definitely think more.
Here's a neat tool that neighbor W6GJB found several years ago. It's
great for tightening and loosening connectors in tight spaces, like the
entry panel in my shack exterior wall. It is equally useful for the few
N-connectors in my system.
