- rootsudo 3y agoBut ROC/East Asia can't design an iphone if they wanted too.
- themoonisachees 3y agoThey've done it several times. Samsung is Korean, Sony japanese and OnePlus Chinese, to name a few. Sorry to burst your bubble but outside north America, most people use Android.
- rootsudo 3y agoNot burst my bubble, iPhone iOS is from Apple and literally impossible to run on other hardware. All the phones you stated run android. Most =/= brand prestige either.
- qeternity 3y agoAnd as we all know, the assembly of an iPhone is the hard part, not the design.
- kortilla 3y agoThis isn’t true. TSMC is using EUV tech all funded by Intel. If the US were sufficiently motivated by a Taiwanese fall to China, a fab would be brought up somewhere else quickly with the support of the US (if not in the US).
- avidphantasm 3y agoIsn’t that what the US is doing? See the CHIPS act [1]. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act

- dekhn 3y agoThe US voluntarily gave up its industrial manufacturing to countries that were more willing to exploit their workers. "Designed in Cupertino. Made in China".
