This article would be so much better if the author wasn’t so overt with their biases. This one article has more swipes than Tinder, which makes it hard to read.

That is very much the house style of The Register, isn't it? Love it or hate it

I’ll take the more positive angle that i appreciate sing a more diversified supply chain, no matter how small the change. You can’t lift and shift production off the entire widget overnight.

Start with the less consequential components to get the flywheel running and continue adding more production. Little manufacturing successes have the ability to snowball into bigger ones.

The irony is that on-shoring high-end manufacturing would be a good thing. But the approach of "do it right now, or I'll put tariffs on your product(s)" is not the way to get any lasting change. It's a way to get the performative changes we're seeing, that will drift right back offshore when this administration mercifully ends.

Just because he's biased, doesn't mean he's wrong.

I can’t tell if this article is whining that Apple is working with partners to make too many parts in America or whining that Apple isn’t making enough parts in America.

The only reason Apple is doing this is to brown-nose Trump to keep him from tariff-ing them into lower profitability.
