But that was an unlikely scenario after Apple has spent decades to build a finely calibrated supply chain in China. In addition, it will take several years and they will cost billions of dollars to build new plants in the United States, and therefore confront Apple with economic forces that could triple the price of an iPhone, threatening the torpedo sales of its tent product.
