Future Apple iPhones could very well be 'Made in America'

President Donald Trump wants to boost the country’s economy by asking companies to build their products back home is no secret . In a speech during the run-up to the election, he said how he will make Apple build its ‘damn computers and other things’ in the US, instead of elsewhere. Looks like, this may possible be true. A new report by Nikkei Asian Review ( via Macrumors), had sparked speculation over iPhones to shed the ‘Made in China’ tag buy building them in America. o, don’t be surprised to see a ‘Made in America’ iPhone. If the report is to be believed than Apple has asked both Foxconn and Pegatron to look into building the devices stateside. “Apple asked both Foxconn and Pegatron, the two iPhone assemblers, in June to look into making iPhones in the U.S. Foxconn complied, while Pegatron declined to formulate such a plan due to cost concerns. Foxconn complied, while Pegatron declined to formulate such a plan due to cost concerns,” the report says, citing sources familiar with the matter. Though Foxconn has been orking on the request that comes from its biggest customer, Chairman Tery Gou isn’t very enthusiastic about it due to rise in production costs. Foxconn is said to build about 200 million iPhones in a year. Now, building the iPhones in the US is expected to rise the production price to double the amount. China offers world’s most sophisticated manufacturing infrastructure, and reports argue how manufacturing won’t be of great importance to the US economy, but rather may make things expensive for middle-class Americans.
