Apple iPhone manufacturing in China, and the U.S. trade deficit
07/01/2010
How much of the iPhone is manufactured in China? 3.6% by China's Hon Hai, but this does not account for South Korean and Japanese suppliers using manufacturing bases in China. German suppliers also have Chinese factories. Production costs at Hon Hai itself are rock bottom, as a result the other parts would be too expensive if not manufactured in China. Reliable statistics would include the value of all suppliers who build i-phone parts in China and take into account the impact on the US of manufacturing jobs that would otherwise be available in the US.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
