The article discusses the improbability of manufacturing iPhones in the US despite comments from the Trump administration suggesting a potential shift from countries like China and India. The iPhone's production involves a complex supply chain comprising about 2,700 parts from 187 suppliers across 28 countries, with most components originating from China and Japan. This complex logistics not only ensures efficiency but also keeps production costs low. Additionally, the US lacks the specific technologies and expertise required for certain manufacturing processes, making relocation a significant challenge.
The complexity of the iPhone's supply chain, consisting of 2,700 parts from 187 suppliers in 28 countries, makes shifting production to the US highly unfeasible.
The current production of iPhones heavily relies on components sourced from China and Japan, taking advantage of proximity for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
