Are iphones made in China

Post by ip freely »

Hearing conflicting things about iPhones. Some say they're being made in China, others say the Trump tariffs have forced them to be made elsewhere. Is this true, and now that Trump's out of office, will they be reversing course and making them in China again?

I love my Apple products, but I'd love them more if they all didn't have that frigging made in China, Designed in California stamp on them.

In the beginning of 2021, it seemed certain that Apple (FoxConn) was ramping up production of iPads, MacBooks, and iPhones to India and Vietnam

Unfortunately in late 2021 it looks like FoxConn is going back to China for iPhone 13s

One problem is that COVID is ramping up in India and Vietnam, and neither country is as equipped from a propagandistic perspective to compete with China, who is definitely using its authoritarianism to lock down anyone with COVID under harsh penalties and using PR to "sell" that its factories are running. Whether the virus was engineered and purposely released by the PLA or all of this happened "coincidentally", China is set to continue to profit immensely from COVID-19.
