They could but then an iPhone would cost $2500. Apple will not eat labor costs.
This is slightly worst than the flu. The freakout is over blown. We just need to power through and hope that the deaths are mitigated. The flu kills even healthy people every year. Things like Universal Healthcare would help the USA manage this epidemic when it hits. Right now the uninsured are getting hit with 1k lab bills for the test to see if they have it and so no one is going to be motivated to get tested.
Telling BS to make $$$? That’s a crude definition of marketing.
I don’t like Tim Hollywood but the comments here are insane.
I mean stores and stuff are slowly opening again there, so what’s wrong with his feeling?

Or lying through their teeth about the situation. Use your gut as to which one it is...
Comrade Cook, unofficial mouthpiece of The People's Republic of China.....
I got some advice for you Apple. How about upping your QC and fixing bugs that have been lingering for years across much of your hardware and software? Then maybe people will have more faith in you and buy more products. No need to lie in order to inflate your stocks.
FYI.

Some discharged coronavirus patients in China test positive for second time: report
Some patients in China’s Guangdong Province who were treated for the coronavirus and were discharged later tested positive again for the novel virus, which has sickened some 82,000 people globally and claimed more than 2,800 lives as of Thursday.
Where are you getting this from? The World Health Organization backs Cook on this 100%. What source do you have that trumps groups like the WHO and CDC? (Forgive the inflammatory headline from Ars, the story itself is really quite reassuring.)
CDC tells Americans to brace for coronavirus
WHO’s insights from China suggest that the virus can be contained.

‘It feels’ is not a very strong statement. Cook’s feelings don’t really count for much.
I don’t know what to make of this. I know the media loves to frighten us to sell ads. I know governments lie to us. I know communist governments are especially untrustworthy. I know political and business leaders will deny the truth until the very end to avoid disorder and financial loss. I do find it discomforting that entire cities have essentially shut down. I also find it discomforting that several doctors young and presumably in good health died from this.

Indonesia is tropical, viruses like the flu/corona spread less easily in warm/hot climates.
(There's no flu in summertime in the U.S./Europe)
Indonesia isn't really capable of tracking this.
(I lived there for a decade, my girl is Indonesian)
Cook and Rump, neither with any professional medical experience, think they know more that the experts from CDC and WHO.
The numbers reported by WHO (which originate from the Chinese government, of course) indicate that the disease has at least reached steady-state there, if not being actually on the downswing. Of course, depends on how much you trust the Chinese-reported numbers today (as opposed to how much you trusted them, say, last week).

The numbers reported by WHO are indeed consistent with the disease peaking in China, and maybe even being on the downswing there.
More actually it's you, since you jump to the conclusion without actually reading the details, totally based "your mightiness" judgement call on the title.
