Even during the US election campaign, the future president, Donald Trump has repeatedly stressed

that he plans to move the production capacity of the leading US companies in the country.
Election died down, on January 21 the inauguration of the newly elected head of government. Then Trump says that just in the first day of accession to the presidency, he announced the US withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership need. According to Donald Trump this partnership disastrously unprofitable for the country's economy.
This decision once again reminds us of the seriousness of the intentions of Trump. And if the government does decide to move all production in the US, it is not only Americans, but also all consumers of American art in the world are waiting for drastic price changes.
What is collected in the United States is always much more expensive than what they do in Mexico, Vietnam or China. On the question of the real value of one of the most popular smartphones of today - iPhone, from an analytical point of view, came the publication Business Insider.

Having considered the final price on the iPhone, when Apple transfer production to the United States with a complete rejection of Service Chinese Foxconn plant, which is responsible for the assembly of devices, analysts were somewhat shocked.
The new iPhone will be the cost of $ 600. Given the fact that devices with cost of $ 230- $ 250 Apple sets a retail price of $ 600 - $ 650, it is easy to assume "a purely American gadget" will be worth in the region of $ 2,000.
According to the resource MIT Technology Review, much depends on the place of production of key components. While maintaining relationships with existing key suppliers the price will rise by 5%. Full transfer of the production of components to the United States will boost the final cost of the smartphone for $ 30- $ 40.
Despite the determination of Donald Trump, in today's realities of US simply can not afford such a large-scale transfer of production. Only for iPhone production closed cycle is necessary to create 150,000 jobs. Of course, the need to build appropriate plants. Such infrastructure in the country simply does not, and if a value of $ 2 000 per iPhone Apple and come not earlier than in 15-20 years.
