ã€Global Technology Reporter Zhang Zhiying】Apple seems to have begun to greatly reduce the "Made in USA" speculation. At the technology and innovation conference held by Goldman Sachs yesterday, Apple CFO Luca Maestri complained about Trang. The general government will only shout slogans, but there is no practical policy to express dissatisfaction.
According to The Verge report, Mestre stated that given President Trump’s policy of “encouraging U.S. manufacturing to return†after he took office, no changes have been made, which has led to Apple’s future actions “difficult to guess.â€
Although President Trump has repeatedly asked Apple to transfer its manufacturing operations to the United States, and Apple has also made a commitment with the new owner of the White House, after a period of time, this heat seems no longer. Mestre's remarks indicate that Apple hopes that the White House's lobbying for "transferring manufacturing to the United States" will be grounded, because this transfer is very difficult and costly to implement.
In fact, for Apple, this is a cliché problem. It is said that Jobs once told President Obama that year, saying that Apple's manufacturing job "can not be achieved." The current CEO Cook has said that the United States simply does not have so many professional and technical workers. Cooke said in an interview with a reporter from the "60 Minutes" program. "You brought together all the machines and mold makers in the United States. The room we are sitting in is full. And in China, you may have several footballs. The field can be filled."
In a speech in March last year, Trump said: "I want to let Apple start manufacturing their computers and mobile phones on our land instead of in China. How can they make these things in China? ?"
Trump has been calling for Apple to move its manufacturing operations outside the United States to its home country, but after it announced its inauguration, the White House has not had any concrete action. After the U.S. presidential election dust settled in November last year, Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook discussed the matter. And a few days before Trump took office as President of the United States in January this year, Trump once again reiterated this view.
However, Mestre showed that Apple’s focus in the US market is how to create more job opportunities in other areas outside of manufacturing. He said: "In the past ten years, we have made great contributions to the U.S. economy," Mestre said. "We have invested billions of dollars in the United States. In the past ten years, we have About 2 million jobs have been created for this country - through our developer community, our retail store, our customer service center, and through our supply chain channels."
There are signs that Apple is at least working on how to make more products to be manufactured in the United States, although no substantive measures have been taken so far. Since 2013, Apple’s Mac Pro computers have been assembled in the United States.
Mestry at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Innovation Conference also talked about another introduction issue about Apple: how to bring overseas cash back to the United States. Mestre's views on this issue are as usual, that is, the domestic tax in the United States is too high, "but I hope this year will have the opportunity to achieve such aspiration."
