š« Why Your iPhone Will *Never* Say "Made in USA" šŗšøā
It sounds patriotic to build iPhones on American soil ā but hereās the harsh truth: itās nearly impossible. And itās not just about high wages or missing tools.
Appleās been perfecting a lightning-fast supply chain in Asia for decades ā a global machine that canāt just be dropped into Texas overnight.
Remember Motorolaās bold move in 2013? A U.S. factory, big dreams... and then? šø High costs. š¢ Slow output. š Low demand. It quietly vanished.
Letās break it down:
* Only 5% of iPhone parts are made in the U.S.
* Screens? Korea.
* Chips? Taiwan (TSMC).
* Assembly? 85% still in China.
* A single iPhone = 2,700 parts from 28 countries.
Chinaās factories are side by side with suppliers ā supercharging speed, cutting costs, and keeping Appleās edge sharp.
Yes, Indiaās stepping in ā now building 16% of iPhones and aiming for 20% ā but the core tech? Still Asian-made.
Bottom line? The iPhone isnāt just a phone ā itās a global puzzle with its heart in Asia. And no, itās not sailing back to America anytime soon.
Your turn: Will tech giants ever bring production home ā or is globalization in our gadgets for good?
