  • They will still want the same profit. So profit when made outside US is 1k and phone cost 1.3k according to your example. Cost of living and basic necessities is extremely cheap overseas, so they accept lower wages.

    If it costs a ridiculous 1k to make in the US under terrible work conditions and stupid high cos of living and eggs, add the 1k profit leads to a 2k phone to make in US.

    At such prices, I would just travel to Mexico and get a version made outside US. In this way, I save rich Americans from terrible work conditions in US and get a cheap phone, support poor families overseas, and even raise them out of poverty with my spending. India and china raised millions out of poverty due to my spending.
