Considering less than 1% of the price of an iPhone or iPad "stays" in China as the cost of assembly, moving all production back to the US for that 1% seems ridiculous. In any case you guys should concentrate in the 30% (or so) of the price that goes into parts and components, almost all made by Korean and Taiwanese companies. Besides most of those components are already made using highly-automated processes because humans lack the precision needed to manufacture at such small scales. Not saying it would be easy, just that it isn't impossible, and 30% is a much better deal than 1%.
