Tim Cook say that it is not possible because U.S. workers are not educated to do this type of assembly and no micro assembly plants either. So I think that maybe a mistake. Apple does very little in making it own products other then the .Mac Pro aka trash can PC.
Perhaps wherever you looked it up doesn't quite have the most correct information?
I have a SIM free iPhone X I bought yesterday that has a serial number that starts with G0. I haven't seen that in an iphone before. i looked it up as well and it does indeed say U.S. If that isn't accurate, I wonder where it was built.
Well documented that there are currently no iPhone manufacturers currently in the US. It now seems like that might change, but as of now, there is no way in hell that's made in the US. Anyone, please raise your hand if your iPhone tracking did not originate in China.
Correct, however, being that Apple warehouse in California, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania are now well stocked up, they will be shipped from the U.S. But they are still made in China.
Sorry, it still feels like week 1. Forgot that we are now in regular order mode.
The label on the box your iPhone shipped in tells you where it was assembled.
That will NOT say "Assembled in USA".
As has been stated above, no iPhones are assembled in the US.
Apple has added new plants, or re-organized the plant location codes, or some other change to the location codes.
Chipmunk (and other sites) have simply not caught up to the changes.
(So, if the box does not say Assembled in the USA, then you know that Chipmunk is wrong)

Those warehouses are all owned by Ingram Micro. Ingram Micro is the only company that ships Apple products in the US.
