This article is such drivel! I work in machining and there are 1000 swiss shops that could make that piece of shit screw 10,000 a day. Fake news.

A better headline:

"Apple Uses a Tiny Screw Fastener as Excuse to Crash It's Plans to Have iPhones Assembled in USA"

Corporate Greed and disdain of the current administrations push to seed manufacturing back into the US forced this nonsense of an excuse to be submitted to the New York Times. The NYT, popular for being the yam hole of elitist drivel is known never to check the voracity of the facts they are spoon fed to print.

Trusting the word of a Company that slowed the performance of it's older phones so that it's loyal customers would collectively spend billions of dollars on new models and now gives reasons for not hiring Americans to build them?

A wonder how much Apple paid to have this drivel written. I have been in manufacturing supply for 20 years and those parts would not have stopped production when all that was needed was to order them for the final assembly. And Apple with its trillions could not have figured that out?

That's definitely BS I'm a machinist and know of a dozen shops in a 30 mile radius of me that could make 1000s of that part, all day every day... NY Times is the enemy of the people never believe anything they say!

Of course. Because they weren't going to import ANY OTHER PARTS. I'm sure every single component was going to be made in house or from domestic manufacturers...

China is not just cheap. It’s a place where, because it’s an authoritarian government, you can marshal 100,000 people to work all night for you,” - article
