Despite Trump administration predictions, Apple is unlikely to manufacture iPhones in the US due to high costs and complex supply chains. Shifting production could triple iPhone prices, impacting sales. Analysts estimate a move to US manufacturing is improbable before 2028. While Apple has pledged $500 billion in US investments, it's not for iPhone production. The tariffs' impact on Apple's profit margins remains uncertain, though Apple's services revenue provides a buffer. Previous attempts by the Trump administration to pressure Apple into US manufacturing were unsuccessful.
