Apple has few incentives to start making iPhones in US , despite Trump ’s trade war with China , despite tariffs.

The disincentives for Apple shifting its production domestically include a complex supply chain that it began building in China during the 1990s .

It would take several years and cost billions of dollars to build new plants in the U.S. , and then confront Apple with economic forces that could triple the price of an iPhone.

Trump tried to pressure Apple into shifting iPhone production to the U.S. during his first term as president.

But the iPhone was exempted from tariffs he imposed on China back then.

Trump ’s first -term tariffs on China also prompted Apple to begin a process that led to some of its current iPhones being made in India .
