Or it can be like Brazil and everyone just pays 2x the cost for a large swath of things because there is no reasonable way that someone can make a competitive version of an iPhone - even with (in this case) 200 something million ‘captive’ customers.

Yes they have strong local industries of very odd stuff sometimes, but on the other hand, they have people travelling outside the country to buy electronics because nothing is made locally. If that's the model the US chooses, then i guess that's their choice.
