Toyota is able to build Camrys, Highlanders, Tundras, etc. in the US. So I don’t see why we can’t have a factory in the US to build the iPhone?

Does building an iPhone require more manual labor than building a car? Maybe it requires more precision than cars, but I don’t see why we can’t train and equip people to do it here.

There are microchips being made in the US today. See Intel. Maybe not the latest process node but it is not an outdated node either.

I’ll take the good ole #2 pencil. Just enough tech and no more.

Of course its going to be unreliable after you slam it!
