Fun fact: iPhones aren't made in America... in fact the majority of "American" products aren't. The profits on those items go to US billionaires, but they don't support any US manufacturing jobs. But of course it's the EU who is screwing us over :eyeroll:

Iphones are assembled in china for a few dollars plus parts. The remaining thousand dollars goes to the US…

Which is one of the reasons why apple, despite their products being made in china, is literally the richest company in the world (cash, not stock market speculation).

A bit more than a few dollars plus parts, plus labor, transportation and import duties but a fair profit.

Fun fact: there are other kinds of jobs besides manufacturing. Apple has an enormous workforce in the US, over 100,000.
