Apple has 2 choices š„ Move iPhone production to the U.S. Or keep it in China and pay the price. 350,000 workers assemble iPhones in Zhengzhou, China Labor cost: ~$5/hour U.S. labor cost: ~$35/hour Result? Shifting production to the U.S. could increase iPhone prices by 43% Now let's say Apple doesn't move production. Trump's new 54% tariff hits Chinese imports. To maintain margins, Apple may raise prices by 30% anyway. So either way, that $999 iPhone? Could soon cost you $1,300-$1,400 Here's the math CEOs are doing right now: Rebuild at home = higher labor costs ā¢ Stay in China = higher political risk + tariffs ā¢ Move to India/Mexico = infrastructure gaps + scaling delays ā¢ Automate = capital intensive, but resilient Reshoring isn't just about patriotism. It's about profit protection. But here's the real kicker: If the government decides where you can produce... and how much you'll pay in tariffs... and what you can import/export... Is that still capitalism? Or just a prettier version of socialism-or something closer to controlled communism?
