The U.S. Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, in an interview, shared insights into Apple's future production plans. Apple CEO, Tim Cook, has expressed a desire for the company to manufacture iPhones in the United States. However, he emphasized that this ambition hinges on the development of advanced robotic technology. This approach aims to minimize the need for a large workforce, which the company views as a potential risk.
Lutnick highlighted that Apple does not intend to establish labor-intensive assembly plants in the U.S. Instead, the focus will be on employing American technological experts to drive factory operations. The shift towards automation and the AI-driven industrial revolution is expected to create high-paying jobs, steering away from traditional manual labor.
