What exactly are they going to build in the US that they can offer for a remotely reasonable price?
iPod Socks
The plastic that covers the iPhone in the box.
Nothing. They’re investing in glass and chip manufacturing. “Apple is establishing the American Manufacturing Program (AMP) […] partners include Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Amkor, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, and Broadcom.”
Note: none of this covers Apple silicon, but there are like a dozen other chips in an iPhone, and iPhones can’t ship without them.
Or that is worth the price. I don’t trust US manufacturing because I know too many people that work in plants
ICE will be supplying slave labor to keep costs down.
