US President Donald Trump “Absolutely” believes that Apple can manufacture its iphones and other equipment in the United States, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Told during a media briefing today,
Levit was asked if Trump wondered the iPhone manufacturing is a kind of technology that could go to America “Absolutely, we believe that we have labor, we have a workforce, we have resources to do it,” he replied, “he replied, also mentioned an investment of $ 500 billion in the US which Apple announced earlier this year. “And as you know, Apple has invested $ 500 billion here in the United States, so if Apple doesn’t think the United States can do this, they probably don’t put that big change.”
Trump is planning a standing tariff on China, Vietnam, Thailand India, the European Union and other countries starting on 9 April. He has claimed that if companies like Apple do not want to pay tariffs, they should manufacture their equipment in the United States. Despite Trump’s suggestions that Apple can transfer its incredibly complex supply chain to the US, it will be next to impossible. Disregarding such maneuver expenses, it is unlikely that Apple and its suppliers will be able to find enough people with the required skills in the United States. Cook commented on manufacturing in China In 2017And said that Apple’s iPhones have been gathered there because China specializes in very advanced manufacturing.
There is an illusion about China. And I give you my opinion. The popular concept is that companies come to China due to low labor costs. I am not sure to which part of China they go, but the truth is that China had stopped becoming a low labor cost country many years ago. The reason for this is due to skill, the amount of skills in one place and the type of skill.
Like products, we need a really advanced tooling, and you have the accuracy of working with tooling and working with materials we do. And the tooling skills is very deep here. You know, in America you can hold a meeting of tooling engineers, and I am not sure we can fill the room. In China, you can fill several football grounds. It is that business expertise is very deep.
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik made similar comments about iphoneneen manufacturing in the weekend, as 404 media Told today A piece “A” is the US-made iphone “pure fantasy. Lutnik said that” the military of millions of people and millions of people are screwed in small, small screws to make iPhones, such a thing is going to come to America, “suggests that neither he nor the Operation of Trump Apple understands.
404 media Apple’s 27-page supplier list highlights [PDF]Which lists more than 50 countries where apples get components. It also does not calculate rare Earth minerals that are derived from 79 countries, and that the US cannot be mined. Apple cannot avoid tariffs by “manufacturing” in the United States because there is no possible way that the components of all types can be built in a country. Even if we limit “manufacturing” in the device assembly, and the US has essential skilled employees (who does not do it), in other countries, the US vs. paying and wage costs will make the price of America’s herphoneion to astronomically higher.
Apple has not yet commented on tariffs, but the company is stocking iPhones and is also planning to rely on imports from India, where tariffs are less, to offset some costs related to importing equipment from China.
It is true that Apple announced an investment of $ 500 billion in the United States, but Apple would build a server for its personal cloud compute system, not iPhones. Server is a low demand product that is not facing customers.
This was when Apple built the Mac Pro in Texas during Trump’s first term, it was A lot of failureApple struggled to find local suppliers, delayed and unexpectedly spent in importing components in Texas, and Apple had a difficult time for workers with the necessary skills.
Till yesterday, Trump was planning to impose 54 percent of tariffs on China, but today, he increased it by 50 percent. From yesterday, goods imported from China will be subject to tariffs of 104 percent.
