That you Apple It is no secret that the company has been trying to diversify the production of its devices outside of China for a long time. After all, the still relatively recent COVID-19 pandemic has taught it a lesson in this regard. However, its supply chain is still spread primarily across Asia, where it is able to produce its products at reasonable prices and in sufficient volumes. On the other hand, production in its homeland, the USA, has long been described as a utopia. However, in recent weeks, due to the tariff policy of US President Donald Trump, we have often heard that people around Trump are moving production AppThey want to bring it to the US. And although this is a utopia given the incredibly complex production chain, it seems that Trump's administrativa truly believes.

The American has also recently commented on the topic minibusiness Howard Lutnick, who stated in an interview with CNBC that Apple is ready for American production – all it takes is the use of robotic arms to ensure production. Lutnick specifically claims that he recently spoke directly with Tim on the subject CookEm. Boss Applu was supposed to tell him that the key problem was automation, that is, the availability of robotic arms that would allow iPhones to be produced at the necessary scale and with the appropriate precision. Until they were available, production could not move.
According to Lutnick, the boss AppLu also said that he sees the biggest risk in the need to employ large numbers of foreign workers. But once it becomes possible to manufacture iPhones using robotic systems, Apple is reportedly ready to bring production to the U.S. And while assembly won't involve screwing iPhones together "by hand," American workers are expected to manage and maintain the high-tech factories.

At first glance, at least from the words of the American miniIt seems to the trade that the move of iPhone production to the US is indeed imminent. However, it is important to note that this is Lutnick's interpretation of a private conversation, not an official public statement. Applu or Tima Cooka. At the same time, the big question is whether the boss Applu, in popular terms, just "has no honey around his mouth", because he himself is completely clear how unrealistic the transfer is - that is miniat least in the short term.
CNBC: What if Apple said, we're gonna build it in California, but now yours iPhone, which was $1,100, is $2,000?
LUTNICK: No way... Tim Cook wants to build it here. He's going to build it here … we're going to go back to the society we knew. pic.twitter.com/fOj4hkR8N3
