I don’t think the skills exist. Foxconn now has decades lead over competitors on assembling tiny devices with crazy low tolerances at a massive scale, with last-minute changes.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but there’s nothing that is manufactured in North America or Europe on that scale, with comparable tolerances, lead times, and speed.

That’s before we get into the discussion about labour - working hours, pay, etc.
