Still blows my mind that its cheaper to throw these sweatshops up around Asia and train a workforce than it is to simply redesign the iPhone to be easily assembled by an automated assembly line. Car companies automate far large and more complicated assembly processes than a phone.
It already is automated. The supply chain and logistics are all in China because China spent money on infrastructure. You can’t plop a factory in the middle of nowhere without support structures, railroads, ports, trucking stations, etc.
Plus this is already final assembly to placate American interests. The supply chain are all in China and Korea with all the components being shipped into India for assembly.
