I’ll say “bring jobs back now, Just sayin”.
The new apple (6 I believe) is ramping up for production.
Millions are due to be produced.

Throughout all of human history, there have been jobs and tasks for the people. Without that, I guarantee mass murder, even if every need is catered to. Humans need to work, to have purpose in society.
The problem with making the iPhone here in the US is that it would cost several times as much to make and it would price out most consumers. Few would pay $1200 for it. In addition to considering our trade policies we have to realistically look at how to make labor cheaper here. Not by lowering wages but all the associated costs with hiring and operating a business here.
The case for overseas manufacturing and labor is too strong right now. If I needed a team of programmers I would have to look at India as an option.
