Once greedy, always greedy... there is no R&D from apple. They take crappy parts, calibrate them and put all together, and slap it in a white box and sell it for 700$ minimal price. This should be a price even when production is to move to America, cause there is no reason for crpy stuff to get more expensive, just bcz it is moved to production in other country ...

Greedy Apple will never move in full to the USA. China did not take Americans jobs, greed did it alongside production and skills. Most country running to China for maximum profit because their high production skills and cheap labors then they blame China for their poor design that they sent to China to produce. China does not make bad products, they make products according to what you can pay. In other words, they suited all pockets. Don't buy a $10 product and expecting a $100 service. If Apple devices ever start manufacture in the USA, people will start pay twice as it currently cost. Trump is an idiot

Trump is asking Apple to make iphones in USA, but he is not saying Apple cannot make it any where else in the world. So Apple can set up a small assembly unit some where is USA and sell them is USA. Rest of the world, they can continue with China.
