Donald Trump has threatened a 25% tariff on Apple iPhones unless the company shifts its production to the United States. On Truth Social, he expressed his expectation that iPhones sold in the U.S. be manufactured domestically rather than in countries like India. Apple has historically cited impracticality due to the high costs of U.S. labor and the scale required for such operations, estimating it could take a decade to move production back home, while also indicating openness to future relocations with robotics advancements.
Trump's demand for Apple to produce iPhones in the U.S., coupled with the threat of a hefty tariff, highlights ongoing tensions around domestic manufacturing.
Apple's reluctance to move iPhone production to the U.S. stems from workforce costs and the complexities of such a large-scale operational change.
