`Tim Cook explains why ‘it’s not true’ that the iPhone
`‘isn’t built in the United States’
`Assembled in China. But key parts and equipment are American.

`
`Apple has long assembled the iPhone in China. Why not here, in the United States?
`
`“We are building things in the United States,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said, speaking in
`Chicago at a taping of Revolution: Apple Changing The World, a special collaboration
`between Recode and MSNBC. “It’s not true that iPhone isn’t built in the United States.”
`
`“What people fixate on,” Cook said, is that the final assembly is done in China. But in a
`“global world,” you do things in a variety of places — components from some places,
`assembly in others.
`
`The iPhone’s display glass, for example, comes from Kentucky, Cook said. Chips are
`built all over the U.S., as is equipment for manufacturing the iPhone. The FaceID
`module on the iPhone X will be built in Texas. Plants are going up in many places.

`What about Donald Trump’s pressure to do more manufacturing in the States?
`(Remember when the president said that Cook “promised” to build “three big plants,
`beautiful plants” in the U.S.?)
`
`We “don’t need political pressure” to create American jobs, Cook said. “We’ve already
`been doing this.”
`
`“We know that Apple could only have been created in the United States,” he said,
`drawing applause from the audience. “We love this country. We’re patriots. This is our
`country. Want to create as many jobs in the U.S. as we can.”
`
`The TV special is scheduled to air Friday, April 6 at 8 pm ET, 5 pm PT.
