Apple made a statement a year and a half ago that they were moving some manufacturing to the United States. Perhaps, a publicity stunt. The financial authors pointed out that their manufacturing is highly automated so labor compared to value is minimal.
At one time the special glass in a smart phone was an Owens (American Company) product. They have resorted to a foreign substitute. Business it tough. Imagine if you purchase the machinery, higher the labor to supply special glass to a customer like Apple and they stop using your product. A trap many small and medium sized companies fall into.
