For iPhones I don’t quite understand the article. The only thing “made” in China is the battery. The phone is only assembled in China. But all the components are made outside of Chinas. Assembly is much easier to move than manufacturing the components.

Apple has a public supplier list: https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/pdf/Apple-Supp...

The majority of suppliers on that list are from Mainland China.

Ok, but that doesn't change what I said?

Memory is from Japan / Korea. Display from Samsung. CPU from Taiwan. FaceID from the US. Many of the chips are all made in the US.

The only thing that China does is final assembly, by a Taiwanese company.
