Assembly does seem to be moving out of China, but that was never the hard part (hell, assembly is even economically viable in the US).

>The Nikkei Asian Review says Apple is "aggressively testing" screens made by the Chinese company, as it considers taking on BOE as an OLED supplier to cut costs and reduce its reliance on Samsung, which is believed to be Apple's primary supplier of OLED displays.

>Apple is reportedly increasing device production in countries outside of China as part of a diversification strategy. iPad production will begin in Vietnam as early as mid-2021, according to a Wednesday report from Japanese financial publication Nikkei Asia.

Most of the computer production will remain in China, according to the report, but some Mac Mini production will be relocated to Malaysia. Some Macbook production is also set to move to Vietnam as well.
