The price of an iPhone could rise to around $3,500 if Apple moves its smartphone production to the United States. That’s according to a report by CNN, citing comments from a leading tech analyst.
iPhone Prices Could Jump to $3,500 If Made in the U.S., Expert Says
The U.S. government has been pushing to bring manufacturing jobs back home. Officials claim that tariffs on imports will encourage companies to build products in the U.S. They say this shift would create millions of American jobs.
But some experts strongly disagree. Dan Ives, a tech analyst at Wedbush Securities, called this idea a “made-up story.” He believes making iPhones in the U.S. would be extremely expensive.
Currently, an iPhone sells for about $1,000. If production shifts to the U.S., that price could triple. “You’re going to have to build this supply chain into the U.S. with a factory in West Virginia and New Jersey. And that will end up being a $3,500 iPhone,” Ives said.
Apple currently depends on a massive supply chain in Asia. This network is efficient and has taken years to build. Recreating it in the U.S. would not be easy—or cheap.
According to Ives, moving even 10% of Apple’s production to the U.S. would cost about $30 billion. It would also take at least three years to complete.
The cost of labor in the U.S. is much higher than in countries like China or Vietnam. Setting up new factories, hiring workers, and training them would all add to the price. These extra costs would likely be passed on to consumers.
CNN says it has reached out to Apple for comment. So far, the company has not responded.
As the debate continues, many wonder if an American-made iPhone is worth the higher cost. While bringing jobs back sounds appealing, it may come with a big price tag for consumers.
For now, the idea remains just that—an idea. But if it ever becomes reality, buyers may need to prepare for much more expensive iPhones.
