Experts generally agree that moving production of the iPhone to the U.S. would be highly unlikely because of the final price of the end product. Varying estimates put the cost of an iPhone between $1,500 to $3,500, if it were made in the U.S. Bruno J. Navarro / @brunojnavarro : sad and hilarious to see what passes as ‘leadership’ these days Mastodon: Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life@mas.to : I remember seeing some conservatives claiming that Apple moving manufacturing from China to India shows tariffs work. Now even Trump realizes that Apple spending billions to NOT move manufacturing to America actually doesn't help anyone besides India. — https://www.bloomberg.com/... … X: M K Venu / @mkvenu1 : And our policy makers were building a narrative that Apple will shift production entirely from China to India. Trump has to be studied every minute! Mark Gurman / @markgurman : Evergreen Reading: Why Trump's Dream of Made-in-the-USA iPhones Isn't Going to Happen https://www.bloomberg.com/... Worth Wray / @worthwray : Glad to see Apple's decision to move iPhone production to India is being questioned. Electronics hardware is an essential building block of modern economic activity & compromised electronics hardware is a key strategic vulnerability. America does not make enough of this hardware Patrick Moorhead / @patrickmoorhead : I've said many times that the administration would view Apple's move from China to India with disfavor, as hard as it is to build phones in the U.S. Just wait until they realize that the subassemblies are made in China for the phones assembled in India. $AAPL Link 👇🏻 [image] Soutik Biswas / @soutikbbc : “I had a little problem with Tim Cook,” Trump said of his conversation with the Apple chief executive office. “He is building all over India. I don't want you building in India.” Trump said Apple will be “upping their production in the United States.” https://www.bloomberg.com/... @jedimarkus77 : Must I do the “Indiana, not India” joke again? $AAPL https://www.bloomberg.com/... [image] @redboxindia : Apple has assured govt of making India as a major mfg base for its products. There's no change in apple's investment plans in India, Govt sources to CNBC TV18 Arjun Kharpal / @arjunkharpal : “I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday,” Trump said. “I said to him, 'my friend, I treated you very good. You're coming here with $500 billion, but now I hear you're building all over India.' I don't want you building in India.” $AAPL https://www.cnbc.com/... @vnchocotaco : Lmfaoo Manish Singh / @refsrc : Trump says he told Apple CEO that he doesn't want the company to be building in India. [image] @acyn : Trump: And I had a little problem with Tim cook yesterday... I said, Tim, look, we've treated you really good. We put up with all the plants that you built in China for years.. We're not interested in you building in India. India can take care of themselves. [video] Mangalam Maloo / @blitzkreigm : And now Trump says: “Told Tim Cook to not manfacture in India, they can take care of themselves” Obviously he'd say that now - as a deal with China's in place and India is refuting US claims of brokering peace in the region. @amockx2022 : BIGGEST BREAKING 🚨 Modi's friend Donald Trump said he told Apple CEO Tim Cook not to build in India “I have told Cook that i have problems with you if you manufacture in India” Will Narendra Modi dare call it out to take a stand for India?? Don't forget that Mukesh Ambani met him in Qatar last night, and now this. Roshan Rai / @roshankrraii : Breaking : Donald Trump asked Apple CEO Tim Cook to not Make In India as they charge high tarrifs. This is the same guy for whom Narendra Modi broke India's decade long policy and held a political rally. Modi and his Bhakts should be shamed today.
