TAIPEI -- iPhones might one day soon carry "Made in America" labels.
Key Apple assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry, also known as Foxconn Technology Group, has been studying the possibility of moving iPhone production to the U.S., sources told the Nikkei Asian Review.
But, but, but.....we were told once those jobs were gone, they were GONE FOREVER?
So quick on the heels of China saying it might not build them for us.....SWEEEEEET!
Thank you, Donald.
Ok I am now perilously close to being sick of winning but not yet. :)
What a concept!
Dang. That didn’t take long.
China is trying to move all iphone assembly to robots.
It could just as easily be setup here in the USA.
Cook is not the brightest bulb in Silicon Valley.
It will take about three years for someone like Foxconn or Pegatron to build the factory (plus nearby supplier factories) needed to build the iPhone in the USA.
The Trump effect!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
“China is trying to move all iPhone assembly to robots....”

It’s not (mainland) China that is making this effort, it is FOXCONN. Foxconn has its headquarters in Taiwan. But your point about Foxconn being able to move the assembly of iPhones to the US is very valid and may happen in the future thanks to this assembly automation.
Could any other person in public life have this sort of immediate impact around the world? Policies and situations we were told were the new normal and too big to reverse are falling like tenpins and he hasn’t even taken office.
It will take pretty much zero arm twisting to get Chinese companies to locate their next generation, capitol intensive and highly automated production facilities in the United States.
For years they have been marveling at the stupidity of the American people for allowing their industrial base to be dismantled and shipped abroad and wonder how long it would take us to finally wise up.
That wising time up would be now.
Secondly, the Chinese are looking for any excuse to locate their new factories with the massive, expensive high tech capitol investment in the United states where their investment and assets will be safe with strong ownership protections and located in a stable, lawful country and away from the Chinese communist princeliness looking to steal whatever they can from the producers.
The fact that they will have an exec to relocate to the United States and start the citizenship process is a side fringe benefit.
I agree. Trump is amazing
wait till Trump gets actual power , the power of the presidency of the USA on Jan 20th then you all will see
China etc. are no match for this man as he already is
causing them all to fold!
They ARE "gone forever". They are shifting from peasant labor to robot labor. NO working-class assembly jobs will be returning.

They’ve already stolen all the IP. So, they may be willing to relocate manufacturing to the US.

Actually, all the Chinese manufacturers are in bed with the party. Big time.
I found this out big time when trying to get a device manufactured by them.

Build it in Texas. It will be complete in a month.
