The #apple has always been of excellence and of the high cost of its products as its own brand and, according to the latest rumors, the multinational Foxconn, which deals with the assembly of the precious smartphones, is reportedly planning to transfer its production directly to the United States of America. The provocation had been launched by the new president of the USA, Donald Trump , that in the midst of an electoral campaign based on proposals protectionist, had declared: “We will move the production of the damned Apple computers from abroad in our country.”
Costs of production are unsustainable
The proposed Donald Trump immediately found a positive response among the nationalists, but also a negative response to unbending of the taiwanese company Pegatron, which takes care also of the construction of some elements of the smartphone, more than that, of course, computers Apple. The proposal of the us president, however, is anything but simple to implement: the Apple has its suppliers mainly in the East, where the costs are much more content. The cost of the labour in the United States is much higher, and the Foxconn should bear the cost of transportation, which would boost substantially the amount to be invested for the production.
this is why the iPhone will continue to be produced in China
How could make the Apple to keep intact its revenues? The answer may be in a price increase, but we are sure that the customers this time may not buy more in bulk products, as happened in the recent past. The second alternative would be to buy a less valuable materials, in this way reducing significantly the manufacturing cost. This hypothesis, however, would be contrary to the prerogatives of Apple, introduced by the founder Steve Jobs, and would reduce the Cupertino company to be one of many. That is why the proposal of Donald Trump is unlikely to be accepted, and the american product excellence for the past 15 years may continue to be produced in China. #DonaldTrump #iphone
