More Winning by Mr. Trump! Apple Could Start Building iPhones in U.S

[Straight Shooter]

Are the aftershocks of Donald Trump’s election being felt in Silicon Valley?

Apple has asked one of its Asian partners who helps assemble its signature product, the iPhone, to begin examining the possibility of moving production to the United States, Nikkei Asian Review reported on Wednesday.

Although the request was made in June, it is significant in light of the election of Trump, who ran on a platform of anti-corporate populism fueled by the loss of domestic manufacturing jobs.

Hon Hai Precision Industry, the Taiwanese multinational which also goes by the name Foxconn Technology Group, is a contract manufacturer and one of two firms hired by Apple to assemble the iPhone.

The other, Pegatron, which is also based in Taiwan, declined Apple’s request, citing cost concerns.

The two companies make over 200 million iPhone devices every year.

'Apple asked both Foxconn and Pegatron, the two iPhone assemblers, in June to look into making iPhones in the US,' a source told Nikkei Asian Review.

'Foxconn complied, while Pegatron declined to formulate such a plan due to cost concerns.'

Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronic manufacturer, is also Apple’s largest client.

Though it complied with Apple’s request for a study, its founder, Terry Gou, has also expressed misgivings about the production costs of establishing a US-based operation.

‘Making iPhones in the US means the cost will more than double,’ a source said.

It is believed that Apple and its partners are increasingly nervous about a Trump presidency.

During his election campaign, Trump vowed to impose tariffs on US-based companies that rely on cheaper labor overseas.

Hey dumb ass, Bill Ford called Trump with his decision to keep the Ford plant in Kentucky. Did Obama call for the end of Cap and Trade?

 

[acenipplelicker]

supposedly no jobs were being lost and no plant closure according to ford and its plan 4 yrs ago- only one line open in mexico

The Ford plant was never leaving Kentucky. They announced that the Lincoln MKC would no longer be made in that plant, but that local jobs would not be affected because of the demand on other models, and there was never any mention of the plant moving. This whole thing is 100% fabrication by Trump. He knows you baby birds are simple enough to eat anything he vomits into your gaping mouths and plays you like the idiots you are.

Is ford building I phones now- wow

I phones give off radiation and cause brain injury

may be they should build them in latino land

Fact: Ford was never moving any plant, they were going to move production of one Lincoln model to a different plant, with no loss of jobs.

Here's an article from November 9 that you don't have to create an account to read:

"Ford Motor Co. intends to move production of the Lincoln MKC out of the Louisville Assembly Plant, but labor leaders insisted that the loss of the model won't cut employment levels.

“Whatever happens in Louisville it will not lose employment. …They cannot make enough Escapes,” UAW Vice President Jimmy Settles, the chief negotiator for the Ford contract, told the Detroit Free Press in an interview."

Asshole of the earth, hahaha. Yes, everyone knows how bad life in Australia is. We have the wealthiest middle class in the world, free healthcare from cradle to grave, and we're not a global laughing stock since we elected the biggest oompa loompa anyone has ever seen based entirely on faith that he will do what he says, even though he contradicts himself constantly. You're not very smart at all.

Fact: Ford called Trump and reassured him. He did it in the best interest of Ford Motor Company.

As for your middle class, it is wealth made on the backs of the poor.

Your percentage of world GDP is 1.003%
Turkey and Iran have a greater share of GDP than Australia.

You are not considered an advanced world economy and the only real contribution you make are a few good rock bands. Even your beer sucks.

If it weren't for deadly Brown vipers and spiders the world wouldn't know you existed.

And then there is the whole marriage equality thing that puts you back in the 20th century.



Get back to us when you decide to join the community of civilized nations.

 

[mongo18]

Your percentage of world GDP is 1.003%

And we have 0.33% of the worlds population.

Even your beer sucks.

You probably think Australians drink fosters, because you're not very smart. We export that shit because it's similar quality to bud and miller.

And then there is the whole marriage equality thing that puts you back in the 20th century.

We're not perfect, there's still work to do. At least we're not actively pushing women's health into the dark ages or taking voting rights away from minorities.

Get back to us when you decide to join the community of civilized nations.

Haha, at least you still have a sense of humor. I assume this is a joke? Because nothing says civilized nation like small town police departments rolling around in armored vehicles in full combat gear. That's how you know your country is doing well!

They only sell 20,000 MKC in the US, not worth the money to move the line to Mexico, unless they really need the room.

Luxembourg is kicking your ass.

That is probably correct. My Frat brothers used to drink that shit as if they were worldly. I think mainly because of the wide cans. I was smart enough to know it sucked after one taste.

We're not perfect, there's still work to do. At least we're not actively pushing women's health into the dark ages or taking voting rights away from minorities.

"Women's health". Planned Parenthood's abortion to adoption ratio is abysmal.

And their other "services" are being conducted by other organizations , better and more economically without having to pay and "arm and a leg" if you know what I mean.

Haha, at least you still have a sense of humor. I assume this is a joke? Because nothing says civilized nation like small town police departments rolling around in armored vehicles in full combat gear. That's how you know your country is doing well!

Yes, our law enforcement parade their wares around town as if it were May Day in Moscow.
