”How realistic is it that a $5 billion fund can move a non-trivial amount of iPhone manufacturing to the US?”

Neither the now-referenced page from Reuters nor Apple’s press release mention that. They will invest in their domestic suppliers and manufacturers, but that’s it, manufacturing-wise.

Also probably worth understanding who these 'suppliers' are.

I think that when people hear that Apple has thousands of suppliers from 50 US states, people think that they're talking about high-tech suppliers for iPhones.

When in reality, Apple is also a retail chain operating in 45 states and has suppliers like cleaners and office suppliers and security that would naturally come locally. Not that these suppliers are worth less, but I don't think the reality matches what people think Apple is saying.
