Setting Up Assembly Lines in the U.S. Would be ‘Highly Difficult’ for Apple

Even though Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook stated this week that he’d like his company’s products to be made in the U.S., a new report says the roadblocks may be to difficult for Apple to overcome, at least in the short term.

Sam Oliver, AppleInsider:

Unnamed sources in Apple’s upstream supply chain indicated to DigiTimes that moving production lines of Apple products to the U.S. would be a “highly difficult” task for the company in the near future. Almost all of Apple’s products are currently assembled in Asia before they are shipped to the rest of the world.
