  Care to elaborate? AFAIK it's well regulated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_USA

    It also means the phone costs over $2000.

      So what? Where are the cheaper alternatives?

      That's probably the real price if you add in the externalities like workplace and environmental regulations which don't apply to Chinese products.

  If you want to play the "where is this ACTUALLY made" game you can play it all of the way back to the origin of the crude oil refined into diesel for the excavator that scooped up the raw silicon. "Made in Alberta" That being said, many ICs are still made in the USA. They might be packaged in Singapore or elsewhere, but they are lithograph'd in Texas, Virginia, and other places in the US.
