So, if you were hoping for a shiny, “Made in America” sticker on your next iPhone, I hate to break it to you. Just like your dreams of becoming a professional meme creator, it’s not happening any time soon.
Recent insights from tech gurus like Mark Gurman, John Gruber, and Ben Thompson shatter that glimmering dream into a million pixelated pieces. It turns out, no tariff percentage is going to magically summon an army of skilled workers to screw in tiny iPhone screws under the watchful eye of Lady Liberty.
Steve Jobs had a chat with President Obama back in 2011 and candidly remarked that those manufacturing jobs? Yeah, they aren’t coming back.
It’s time to face the music, folks. Apple’s supply chain is a carefully orchestrated symphony that simply can’t hit the high notes of U.S. production. So, while we dream of iPhones handcrafted by the American workforce, we might as well be dreaming of a unicorn working at our local drive-thru.
In short, the iPhone’s stamp of approval will likely remain firmly planted in the land of the dragon, where production costs and labor efficiency reign supreme. So buckle up and hold on tight, because that’s the reality of the situation—and don’t even think about waiting for that Made in America launch party to happen.
