ssbatman21, 18 Nov 2016Why would people working in apple would work at minimum wag... morePeople wouldn't work under Apple - Foxconn or some equivalent. Apple could never afford to hire that many people without affecting it's bottom line.
There's just no way that what Trump wants can actually be achieved.

That is just stupid. His every move makes me doubt the authenticity of the polls or the IQ of americans who elected him.
Zero experience in politics, disrespectful to (almost) everyone, making fun of cripples and celibrities, cheap fame.... and now they gave him nuclear codes.....
Way to go america your president might star in a porno one day......
Whatever advances america is making in tech world is amazing but realistically they dont have the man power to execute all that practically.
The entire world's primary manufacturing base is china, japan, korea and india......
What is going to bring back to US next???
BPO companies from india....????
America is doomed.....

Apple customers are very loyal but there's still a limit of their patience. Doubled prices would definitely make a lot of them turn their backs to Apple.

mir, 18 Nov 2016The reason why the manufacturing prices are so low for prod... moreWhy would people working in apple would work at minimum wage???
This is a stupid move and very unlikely to actually happen....
It will increase the production cost by atleast 200-250%

Let's be honest, trump has the US economy and the American people's jobs in mind when he talks about the import duties. And besides China has peaked. They know that. A move like could have a potentially worse effect on China then on Apple.

In China, Foxconn's production worker's monthlysalary is USD 485.00, includes accommodation and food. Can one imagine what the cost increment is if iPhones are really going to be made in America? Kudos Trump.

stupid apple, they should have started production here in our shores to begin with... instead they opted for those chinese and have the audacity to charge 400-500% mark up... and what do those very same people who manufacture iPhones? imitate it and produce a bunch of clones at apple's expense and Tim and company can't do anything about it... he's like saying "ok, let's build our iPhones here in China to lessen cost and make up for it on sale and let the chinese have their way if they wanna violate copyright infringement by copying our phones."

There are plenty of laws and regulations that permit the government to cancel visas, depending on the severity of the crime. That's not really a campaign point, it's immigration law.
