No, The Wall Street Journal reported on June 28th that Apple only moved the production of the new Mac pro computer to China this time. You know, the tariffs imposed by Trump will still greatly increase the cost of products produced in China, while the prices of Apple's iphone, mac book and other notebooks are already quite high, and the tariffs will undoubtedly reduce Apple's already declining sales worldwide.
However, judging from Apple's actions, Apple's position on the peaceful settlement of the Sino-US trade war can be said to be very firm. You know, in addition to finding faults around the world, the Trump administration has been calling on American technology companies to move manufacturing back to the United States. Although not many companies responded, few companies like Apple moved their production out of the United States. Many netizens said that Lenovo should learn from Apple. When the United States imposes tariffs, Lenovo's first reaction is that Lenovo can move its production line from China to China at any time to avoid the rising cost caused by trade tariffs. Apple is obviously more recognized.
Actually, does Apple really have China's heart? In the final analysis, it is just an enterprise, and corporate profitability is still its main purpose. When it comes to the efficiency of production and labor, and the corresponding speed of supply chain, China has almost no competitors in the world now, and the title of world factory is not covered. If Apple wants its new products to quickly increase production capacity and enter the market, it is undoubtedly the wisest decision to produce them in China.
Apple Mac Pro desktop computer is not made by Foxconn, but the main OEM of Apple computer, Quanta. This year, Quanta mainly manufactures Apple's mac book notebooks and apple watch smart watches. Quanta has four OEM factories in China and is also a giant in OEM field. In fact, the American technology field has enjoyed the high premium brought by technology, and Apple mobile phones account for 70% of the profits of the mobile phone industry. Qualcomm, Micron and other chips in the United States have also made a lot of profits because of their advanced patented technology. It is obviously too greedy for the United States to monopolize high-tech products and create jobs with low-end manufacturing. Netizens also gave the United States a trick to let American workers come to Foxconn to see if they can do this kind of work intensity. It took them only a few thousand dollars to know why American technology companies came to China to manufacture and produce products.
