They never said they were going to close the plant.
They are thinking of moving production of the Lincoln MKC small SUV out of the Louisville Assembly Plant so it could make more Ford Escapes there.

Enjoy paying $2,800 for your iphones.

In other words, Apple is going through the motions knowing full well it can't manifacture phones here. And Trump wont do shit to fine Apple products because the backlach isn't worth it.
The absolute most it can do is build a factory here that is run by robots. China loses jobs. The US gains almost none. Its a lose/lose/lose move

Rochard · 11-18-2016, 08:07 AM

Seems this has nothing to do with Trump.

Apple is Foxconn's biggest customer but Chairman Terry Gou is worried about the rising production costs of such a move, the Nikkei reported, citing a source saying that costs will double. It's important to note that the discussions began in June, five months before Trump won the election.
(source)

This was started five months before Trump took office, and it will most likely double the cost of an iPhone. Think about this for just a moment..... the cost of iPhones would DOUBLE.

Then there is Ford.... Ford is saying it never had plans to move it's plant from Kentucky to Mexico. In fact, it invested $700 million into a the Kentucky plant in a controact with the United Auto Workers union. The plant is going to remain open and Trump had nothing to do with this. (source)

Trump likes to take credit for stuff that has nothing to do with him.

plaster · 11-18-2016, 08:12 AM

"costs will double" sounds like complete bullshit, they can't possibly double if manufacturing cost is only 2%.... they probably meant "manufacturing costs" will double, which would equate to $15 increase in costs for an iphone, which is fuck all, they'll make at least double that from free positive press/positive PR/etc:

someone pulled that $8/hr number out of their ass, just like you did with the $10-$12/hr number, it could end up $15/hr or $20/hr for all we know...

and still, what does it matter what the pay is? job is a job, beats doing nothing while sucking on government tit, which many claim is their only option in life because "there are no jobs available"...

Foxconn does it. If their profit margins decrease substantially, then Apple will pay for it (and thus the consumer).

Apple making a lot of profit on one flagship product doesn't mean a whole lot. That subsidizes R&D for new products / current, smaller product lines, etc., as well.

They're not going to lose 10% profit margin (and thus stock price) just for shits and giggles.

Also, their effective tax rate is already far below 15%. Like I said, that's irrelevant.

How is effective tax rate well below 15%? Source please and that would have to be overseas operations then because US corporate tax rate is 35%.

Of course if they do this it might be pretty cool, but then again as the article says, it might be very expensive and may double their costs.

I dont know anyone like that and I voted Democrat this election. You watch, and believe, too much Trump propaganda.

I think having "made in America" on every iphone would be an awesome kick in the teeth to the thieving Chinese government

We should take every factory out of China & Mexico and bring them to the U.S. China knocks off everything we pay their people to make there and legally sell it at half the price in their country fuck them!

They even knockoff ikea and McDonalds there

they did not move to china over 2% that is for sure...you are also forgetting that most of the r&d is in china...it is not cost effective to do it in the USA...most of the major components come from china as well...also you touch a penny of the investors profit and they will find somewhere else to invest...and the Iphone aint doing to well either...same old shit phone year after year...crapple is on the decline...
