After that during the election campaign, the newly-elected us president, Donald Trump, said that would force american companies to bring their production back to the country, it has been known, according to the newspaper financial japanese The Nikkei, which Apple exposed at Foxconn, one of its main manufacturers, what were the possibilities of relocating the production factories to the united States.
According to the information reported, sources who prefer to remain anonymous, indicate that Apple would have come also to Pegatron, which is one of its main suppliers of components for the manufacture of the devices, although it is unlike Foxconn, would not have been willing to carry out this movement, due to the costs that would be involved such an operation.
Meanwhile, in the case of Foxconn (which produces 200 million of iPhone handsets per year), the costs and implications of this possible move to the united States, were being analyzed, then stop manufacturing the iPhone in China would cause the cost per unit to duplicate, as revealed by the sources consulted by The Nikkei.
The use of manufacturers in asian countries is part of Apple is due to the lower cost of labor in relation to what you should pay for the same work to workers in the united States and in fact the company from Cupertino, go to companies like TSMC (Chip), Japan Display and Sharp (panels), and SK Hynix, and Toshiba (memory modules) to obtain the components that you need.
Will Trump 'twist the arm' to Apple to make their products in the united States. Just wait…
