How much of that is made here? If you look at their ICs even if its an American company most of their chips are made in Taiwan. For example apple might design CPU here, but its made in Hsinchu.
- adventured 9y agoVery likely an impossible number to unravel (without Apple providing the detail). Their cost of revenue for 2017 was $144b out of $229b in sales. How much room is in there for $50b in the US and all manufacturing overseas? It would seem theoretically possible to fit all of that in. Here's their supplier list: https://images.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/pdf/Apple-Supplier-List.pdf https://images.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/pdf/Apple-S... 3M for example has six US location references. Broadcom has two US locations. Corning has one. Flextronics has one US location. Intel has three US locations. Samsung has one US location listed. Texas Instruments has several. And so on; about 40 locations in all. Does it add up to $50 billion in real US manufacturing and supplier activity? Who knows.
