Not so long ago we told you about the hands-article The New York Times, in which the online edition has tried to answer the question posed by U.S. President Barack Obama to Steve Jobs "Why iPhone is not in the U.S.?".
The publication believes that it is not only to save labor costs - wages, American would have added only $ 65 to the cost of each Apple-phone. The advantages of manufacturing in China, according to the NYT, are to scale, speed and flexibility of the entire product chain. Suppliers Apple in China may be one night to hire 3,000 staff, put them in a dorm and the next morning to start producing a new model of iPhone.
However, according to Forbes, Apple smartphone is all the same in the U.S., not China. Thus, in the United States developed the popular device design, support is provided software creates ads and much more. China only manufactures components and assembles the iPhone, which, according to experts, is the smallest part of that work, which is embedded in the creation of "apple" phone.
"In an article written by three American professors, it is claimed that only about 10 dollars from each sold iPhone and iPad are in China in the form of wages to local workers. Despite the fact that the products of Apple, including the major components are manufactured in China, the main income comes into the U.S. economy, as the device design and software development, product management, advertising and other important aspects of creating iPhone sold in the U.S.. China, in this case acts as a collector. "
