Wish the headline said “apple wants to move all production to the United States”
Do you also wish for your new iPhone to cost an extra $800?
The only way Apple should bring full production, or any percentage, to the USA or any other country for that matter should be full robotic assembly. Maybe even production.
I know this is NOT popular for countries whose citizens NEED to have a job as economic situations not favouring the non rich. But it’ll allow governments to have major incentives for Apple and its partners to foster major education in electronics, robotics, technology with a fab or chip design focus, programming, etc for designing assemblies chips and more into the future.
Being an Indian, I must say that it’s not an easy task to tripple the production. A lot of things to be changed to crete a large skilled workforce. Having almost a billion youth doesn't mean that the country is ready for any job.
Education system in India to be changed a lot. India still have 100 year old education system. In China communism kept people like slaves for many years. So, it was much easier for government to form them according to the need.
With proper guidelines and education system, two to three years are enough to change the direction. But how to do it is the question.
Seeing above, just how far back currently is India’s education compared to many of the western world?
Mathematics I’d guess they’re leaps and bounds ahead?
Physics,
Biology,
Electronics,
Or are you just focusing on English as a language for reading writing and speaking?
I don’t know honestly so I’m asking since you out it out there.
As I’ve mentioned in reply above, would Modi, current Prime Minister(?) not include an educational or building or homes clause in the contract with Apple and Foxconn before any assembly or busking had begun?
Kinross Gold Corp, when purchasing a gold mine back in 2010 had a clause with Mauritanian government to build homes and schools before any agreement was iron clad to approve the purchase and continue or expand mining. That was an original $6 billion deal which went up to $8.1 billion deal. Unfortunately the mine had crumbs or Gold despite what their core samples informed them of. The aftermath of the business was terrible since gold dropped from nearly $2400/troy ounce to just $7xx/troy ounce. All public knowledge and it was brutal. Many friends colleagues and others lost their jobs not to mention employee investments due to EPP.
Again that was just $8.1 billion. I’m sure such a deal that would be hugely long term over 10yrs would be very beneficial for all including citizens. I’m hoping such is done.
Would I pay $200CAN more for an iPhone mini 14/? If such a deal was done with India+Apple+Foxconn? A resounding YES!
