In an appearance on ABCs "This Week" on Sunday, the Arizona senator mistakenly said that iPads and iPhones were made in the U.S. when speaking about free trade agreements.
"It's obviously recognition of the reality and the trends that cheaper, lower-cost products will usually prevail over the products made in higher wage and income countries," McCain said. "But I would also point out that, if you'd emptied that house, if you'd left a computer there or an iPad or an iPhone, those are built in the United States of America. And as the president said, continuously, and I agree with him, innovation is the key to us being able to restore our economy."
While much of Apple's business is done in Silicon Valley and across the U.S., the company's products are actually manufactured in China.

While it may have been a simple error in how he explained it, it doesn't make it any less "Hi pot. Meet kettle".
