Apple could make iPhones in US in future

[Luddly Neddite]

trump fans are in favor of sending jobs overseas though. There was footage of steel workers showing their red hats and trump signs. A couple of days before that, it was announced that trump refuses to buy US steel and buys only inferior steel from China.

The trumpkins can't say they didn't know that trump has spent his entire life screwing over Americans in order to enrich himself and other countries. They knew it and they don't get to deny it.

Apple could make iPhones in US in future: sources

iPhones might one day soon carry "Made in America" labels.

Key Apple assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry, also known as Foxconn Technology Group, has been studying the possibility of moving iPhone production to the U.S., sources told the Nikkei Asian Review.

"Apple asked both Foxconn and Pegatron, the two iPhone assemblers, in June to look into making iPhones in the U.S.," a source said. "Foxconn complied, while Pegatron declined to formulate such a plan due to cost concerns."

Foxconn, based in the gritty, industrial Tucheng district in suburban Taipei, and its smaller Taiwanese rival churn out more than 200 million iPhones annually from their massive Chinese campuses.

Another source said that while Foxconn had been working on the request from Apple Inc., its biggest customer that accounts for more than 50% of its sales, Chairman Terry Gou had been less enthusiastic due to an inevitable rise in production costs.

"Making iPhones in the U.S. means the cost will more than double," the source said.

The person added that one view among the Apple supply chain in Taiwan is that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump may push the Cupertino, California-based tech titan to make a certain number of iPhone components at home.

That would help American jobs greatly! Thank you Mr. Trump! This will put more Americans in good paying jobs and broaden our tax base!

Do American consumers want to pay twice as much?

And Americans assembling tech have a history of quality control issues. (round eye not honorable employee)

Any iPhone factory that I is built in the US will make the fucking things with robots. Manufacturing jobs are not coming back.

 

[ScienceRocks]

IT's possible as they're switching over to machines so cheap labor isn't as important as it was 10 years ago.

A vote for trump is a vote against US jobs and every single RWNJ traitor knows it and lies about it.

WHY?

Apple could do a bunch of shit. Why is that a headline?

Because people like you said it was impossible.

Making iphones in the US is more of a political decision than financial. If Foxconn decide to do it, it would be final assembly only which would not produce a huge number of jobs. Only if all the components were assembled in the US would that happen and that would about double the price of the phone making it non-competitive.

Jobs are not coming back unless anyone like to have a big pay cut.
In China s/w, electronic, electrical, mechanical, chemical, med tech, it makes around $30 to $45 a *DAY* with benefits. Are any of you willing to take those kind of pay? Even my gardener will not take that kind of pay.
If we make IPhone here. It will become unaffordable and unable to compete world wide.

As someone commented, if we make phones here it's going to be highly automated to minimize labor cost. Most of manufacturing in an iphone is components which will continue to be made in many different countries.

It is funny to see clueless people drawing conclusions out of situations they have absolutely no idea.

Factories might be coming back, but jobs... i dont think so...

Manufacturing jobs left this country... for good...

I would gladly pay more for products made in the U.S.

They could also make their employees dye their hair blue in the future. The last thing Apple wants is for iPhone prices to double, like the article says would happen. The only way that Foxconn moves production here is if Trump inflicts massive artificial controls on it. And if that's the case that's the end of the iPhone.

Thanks for hating America.

Who could have seen that coming? LOL

If people have more disposable income whats the problem?

 

[my2¢]

I'd hold off on my thanks for now until we see how it goes. Foxconn is the company that installed safety nets on their Apple production factories due to employees jumping off roofs and committing suicide.

Apple must be open to the move or this article wouldn't exist. Perhaps their profit margins will drop, but I am wondering if there will be a "Buy American Movement" that will take place when Trump is president.

That's not true at all. Anybody can write an article about anything. Apple asked 2 companies to see what would happen if they moved production to the U.S., and they found that iPhone prices would shoot up to over $1000. That's news. The writer saying that glorious leader Trump has forced them to consider moving production to the U.S., that's opinion.

According to research company IHS Markit, it costs about $225 for Apple to make an iPhone 7 with a 32GB memory, while the unsubsidized price for such a handset is $649.

That price of $649 is unsubsidized. Not $1000.00.

The fact that they are investigating it is based on fact.

That's the cost to produce it. Not the price to sell it. To buy the cheapest iPhone 7 new without a plan right now is $750. Now double that price. That's what you voted for.

I'm good with that.
