afronoia, 06 Feb 2025These companies like Apple already enjoy much lower product... moreContrary to a lot of narratives floated everywhere, the labour cost is only about 1/4 of the total cost. The main reason manufacturing in China, specifically in southern Guangzhou is cheaper is due to the integration of various manufacturing facilities concentrated in one area reducing part costs, transportation and lead times.
Although labour cost is important, if it was the primary driver you could move production directly to Africa where labour is the most affordable.

China is not Japan but USA didn't get the memo.

Only two things have been removed in iPhones in the last decade: headphone jack and 3D Touch.
Compared to all the useless craps Android phones have been trying between depth cameras, macro useless sensors to optical fingerprint readers that get blocked by a screen protector 😂.
I dont mention the charger being removed because Apple provided a 5W one so not like you were missing much on it.

I don't understand why move from China to India
What beneft do US as a country, and US citizen have if it's made in India?
If they want to move, why not moves production to USA?

These companies like Apple already enjoy much lower production cost for many years by moving the factory to China. I think if they manufacture and assemble locally, the cost would be much more than 10%. But of course, corporates will rant then dump the extra cost to customers instead. They won't lose anything still.
