Why Apple Won't Make iPhones in the US: Logistics, Costs, and Presidential Pressure

Apple's iPhone Production Remains Overseas: Logistical Hurdles and Economic Factors Cited Unitel Bolivia recently released a short video explaining why Apple continues to manufacture its iPhones outside the United States. The video highlights the comments of former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, who both questioned Apple executives about the lack of domestic production. The video points to significant logistical challenges as a primary reason. 'The logistics simply don't exist in the US,' the presenter stated, referring to the massive and highly specialized manufacturing operations required to produce iPhones at scale. The video also features footage of Foxconn's massive manufacturing facilities, illustrating the scale of the operation. Beyond logistics, the video suggests that the cost of establishing comparable manufacturing infrastructure in the US would be prohibitively expensive, resulting in a significant increase in the price of iPhones. The presenter alluded to potential price increases of up to three times the current cost if production were moved to the US. While Apple invests heavily in the US economy in other areas—such as artificial intelligence, server infrastructure, and digital training—the video concludes that for now, iPhone manufacturing remains overseas due to the complex logistical and economic factors involved.
