Labour wage would be the major problem.
Trump just have an over bloated ego.
No thanks to his supporters.
Sebi china don fold am

seanwilliam:
You have nothing to worry about .

jaxxy:
Why should US Tech companies make fones in China when they can use India?

seunmsg:
So, what difference does it have to make the phones in China or India?

ImpartialGuy:
Apple should develop an AI-enabled industrial process to drive the production of their smartphones. That way, iDevices can be affordable even if they are made in America.

Ningi2020:
Here is the thing, make China built Iphones and import them to Nigeria and our people here will smuggled the iPhone to the US and sell at high price just like drugs,, I hope I made myself clear

Saga16:
They don't have the earth metals either.

US is cooked.

Jayboi:

obinna58:
IPhone 17 will be out of reach even for yahoo boys chaii, na only politicians go fit afford am now

Aldebaran:


Even “Make America Great Again“ cap is made in CHINA

tctrills:
Now you get the point, more than 70% of the worlds rear earth metals are outside china yet the Chinese control over 90% of the rear earth refining and trade. Do you see how 40 years of bad policy has put the US in this position?
Now the question is, do you continue with these policies that has made china control global manufacturing or do you change policy even though it may be painful so that in the next 20 years when the US becomes a manufacturing super power again, people would talk about this day where it all began?
As for China, it has just lost 14% of it's market. Remember, china is an export economy. So china is much more cooked.

seunmsg:
US President wants iPhone manufactured in US and not outside the country.

Saga16:
China controls 69% of the world's rare earth minerals.

tctrills:
You are right and that's the reason why Trumps tariffs are so important. The tariffs will push the US and other global companies to develop rear earth metals refining independent of China. On the other hand, the Chinese have no alternative market that replaces the US market which happens to be the biggest in the world.

Saga16:
You're all over the place.

That's why Trump wants to take over Greenland, but he can't.

By the way, who would buy American made products when all agreements made in good faith are torn up by the American president ?

tctrills:
No, you are the one all over the place, this has nothing to do with Greenland.
The Chinese have 36.7% of Global Reserves of rear earth metals.
There is still so much rear earth in other places.
Russia has about 18% of all rear earth. Rear earth are not really rear.
You asked who would buy American products? That shows you are not listening to the news.
Over 80 nations are making new trade agreements with the US that are far more favorable to the US.
Vietnam has removed all tariffs on US goods. Israel has done the same. Japan and the EU are working towards the same. Everyone is making new trade agreements with the US but I don't see any new trade agreements with china.

It's time to use your brain. The only reason why a US-made iPhone will be so expensive is because the US ceded manufacturing to China, and over time, China got better and could do it cheaper.
If the US continues this way, in the next 20 years, it will be impossible to make anything in the US. Someone had to say no and reverse the trend.

CodeTemplarr:
Their high labour wages is another barrier. Who will want high labour cost to be passed to him or her when cheaper Chinese option is there. I expect smuggling to peak as they enforce their tariffs.

tctrills:
Zero nations are making new trade agreements with China if that is what you are asking.
On the US side, the European union alone counts for more than 10. The united kingdom, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India, Mexico, Canada, Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Australia, Switzerland. This is more than 10 already.
