Although Donald Trump threatens Apple with a 25% customs duty, if the company does not move the production of iPhones to the United States, experts say such a step is practically unrealistic. China and India have developed a specialized production environment with seasoned skills and technologies that cannot be replaced immediately.
Apple is investing in the United States research, artificial intellect and small business development, but not for scale production. In case of transferring the full production of iPhones to the United States, production costs will increase dramatically, and prices may triple, causing market instability.
The company is facing a difficult choice between political pressure and economic realities, as the producing iPhone in the United States is simply unrealistic, CNN reports.
