Where do you prefer your new iPhone to be assembled and why? Do you think the quality inspections will be better and workmanship will be quality? Will they make sure our iPhones have no lints under the camera lens or scratches of any kind when we receive them?. Let me know what is your opinion and what you think or expect. 👍🏼

You sound a bit OCD ?

iPhones for the US are assembled in China.
Other countries may get assembled elsewhere.

My Studio Max Mac was assembled in Thailand and it had no issues.

If you want perfect workmanship, ask Apple to have assembly done in Japan and pay 2-3x more money ?

Seriously, from my experience, iPhone purchase from smaller mvno carrier's have the worst quality control. I purchase a couple SE from Cricket back in the days, and both screens had light bleed. I guess mvno carrier's gets the B grade lot.

Historically, the non-Pro line had some manufactured in India, and the Pro line was 100% China.

Who knows if this is true this year. I don’t expect one would generally be able to tell.

Maybe someone over there will slip in a four leaf clover or a limerick!
