What phones?
There is ZERO capacity currently to make phones in the US.
And even if there were... they'd cost 3000 and be 5 years behind current gen.
There are no fabs, no supply chains. Phones consists of thousands of parts.

So dumb.
You can’t make this up:
On May 23rd, President Trump threatened Apple, $AAPL, and Samsung with a 25% tariff on phones not made in the USA.
This was the first Trump tariff in 2025 to target individual companies.
Today, exactly 24 days later, the Trump Organization announced “Trump Mobile.”
“Trump Mobile” will be using phones made in the USA.
Truly incredible.
