Forensic Study of the iPhone's Supply Chain Reveals Unexpected Results - IndustryWeek Forums
So how much of the iPhone is actually made, not just assembled, in China? According to the WSJ article, not much: only 3.6% of an iPhone’s components are built in China. In fact, nearly twice as much of the gadget’s parts are made in the United States (6%), where of course Apple is located and where the product was developed. Most of the iPhone, it turns out, is made in Japan (34%), with 17% being built in Germany, 13% in South Korea, and 27% being made elsewhere.
