I think it would fun to see a list of where all of the iPhones were made. Almost to me when we order iPhones they kind come like exactly from the factory since that is why it seems like it takes forever

To the best of my knowledge all iPhones have been made in China. “Designed in California, Assembled in China”.
 
I was just I think there was one website that probably had the wrong info but I know there's a way to check when you what week you phone was made.
 
It's in the serial number, but only on pre 2010/11 devices IIRC. 3rd number in serial is the year, 4th and 5th should be the week. This is the case on my iPhone 2007 and my 3G.

You can also use an app such as Coconut battery to see the exact date of manufacture, but I think it's Mac-only.
 
It would be nice if there was version iOS, The July 2019 13 in MacBook Pro that I'm using was built on July 22, 2019, and I received it on July 31, 2019, I know there is a website with codes on how to decode a serial number,

If you plug in an iOS device with Coconut battery it will tell you.

I think after that, it's the 4th digit is the Year (1st and 2nd Quarter) and the 5th digit is the Week.

So 1st Quarter of 2020 is C and 2nd Quarter of 2020 is D. And because Apple skips the Vowels, I would think 2021 first quarter will be F.
 
I used that page the other day and the week seems to have been correct but it said my phone was assembled in the USA
Yea I think saw that serial Number starting with G0 says that but that website is incorrect as those who have the G0, were shipped from China.
