$Apple(AAPL.US)STEVE JOBS WARNED US 14 YEARS AGO: iPhones can’t be made in the US!
In 2011, Steve Jobs bluntly told President Obama: ‘Those jobs aren’t coming back’—highlighting America’s inability to replicate China’s hyper-efficient supply chains. Jobs noted that even something as simple as sourcing ‘a million screws overnight’ would cripple U.S. iPhone production. Today, his warning rings louder: Trump’s proposed tariffs could spike iPhone 16 Pro Max prices to $2,150+ (vs. $1,199 now), with a hypothetical ‘Made in USA’ model hitting $3,500. Apple’s $20B India pivot (2025) mitigates risks but can’t replace China’s 90% production dominance.
