Apple is a Chinese company
 
What happens when the SEC, auditors and investors wake up?

I try to stay far away from Apple products, but it's difficult to buy any high tech product these days that wasn't made in or sourced from China.

And now this......


""Apple Card’s new high-yield Savings account is now available, offering a 4.15 percent APY""

Apple is now assembling its products (it actually their sub-contractors) in India.

Quote:

Currently, iPhones are assembled in India by at least three of Apple's global suppliers - Foxconn and Pegatron (4938.TW) in Tamil Nadu, and Wistron (3231.TW) in Karnataka.

Apple has been shifting production away from China after the country's strict COVID-related restrictions disrupted the manufacturing of new iPhones and other devices in the country and also to avoid a big hit to its business from tensions between Beijing and Washington.
If I am not mistaken, they have operations in three adjacent states in South India. Not having been to India in over four years, do not have much direct knowledge. Also I have heard that they also have been looking at Cambodia & Vietnam though their expansion into other countries in Asia is via their Taiwanese manufacturing partner Foxconn.

This is the only cell phone that I'm aware of that is made in the US:

https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa/

It's a niche product aimed at a relatively small target market produced by a company that is registered as a social purpose company. The product/service has some limitations at present from the perspective of the average consumer: phone price, service cost/availability, etc. However, for the right person/company, it could be an attractive option.

Entry level $2G up. Not surprising for the spec window.
