Apple: Made by Foxconn, not in the US.
nVidia: Made by TSMC, not in the US.
Intel and Tesla are made in the US afaik, but even the hardware startups we do have still tend to manufacture abroad.
- jfim 6y agoHow much of the electronics in Teslas are made in the USA though?
- adventured 6y agoApple: assembled by Foxconn. If your premise were accurate, the primary value would be in Foxconn and they'd destroy Apple by competing with them and take their $60 billion per year in profit. Most of the value is from Apple and the other component makers, not the company doing primitive assembly. Further, Foxconn makes nothing in the iPhone, so once again it's very obviously not "made by Foxconn." And that's why Foxconn gets such a tiny slice of the profit.
- microtherion 6y agoThere are different ways of doing outsourcing. Companies like IBM (and Dell, at one point) outsourced more and more of their value chain, until eventually all they contributed to their products was their logo. I believe Apple is trying to go down a different path, by staying involved in the minutiae of manufacturing, materials science, etc, basically everything but actually doing the manufacturing.

- fermienrico 6y agoThe fab in China is 20 year old tech. Primarily chipsets.

- blackrock 6y agoSpaceX rockets are still made in the US. Go work for them. Seriously, you do not want to be assembling iPhones. Build a robot to do that tedious work instead.
