&gt; Apple&#x27;s profits are largely due to the cheap labor market (just like many other companies)<p>Foxconn is replacing millions of workers in China with robotics. Couldn&#x27;t Apple acquire these same robotics, perform their own manufacturing in the US (remember, substantial tax breaks in the US for equipment purchases!), and then lease out any spare capacity.<p>Seems its all coming back to US shores. As a US citizen, I don&#x27;t mind.
