I am sad to say this but...the only reason you can produce a 1000$ phone in china in the first place is because china currency is kept artificially low by the china government in a suicide net factory environment...even in china you are on glass legs let alone the USA
steve jobbs once told obama that it would never happen that apple produces in the USA not only because of expensive labour costs but also because of work regulations and taxes ect...
you mentioned you could produce with lower profit margins...well not commercially you cant... lets consider the appeal of apple stock if US produced with lower profit margins and samsung about to rape their ass and other giants who do not have to pay huge US salaries or deal with US bullshit regulations and US bullshit lawsuits ect...where would you invest samsung or apple?
lets take the investment appeal of apple one step further and look at banks not private investors, let me explain how the banking world in the USA works, this is not speculation or my own opinion this is hard fact:
investment in the USA is speculative in nature...it is the true cancer of your society...the printed money and the riding of bubbles is the result of the banks investing in what they consider to be most profitable for them and not what is most useful for your country...investing in new jobs is risky, if you lend a group of people 100.000$ for a start-up you may never get paid back...but if you give one person 100.000$ for a house then you can take the house...ergo the housing bubble in your country btw...

the point: banks are not in the business of taking risks...USA production is impossible without private investors and banks willing to invest in low profit margins...you are economically incapable of producing most of your brand name goods in the USA...
it is eating up everything in your country...education, healthcare, jobs, military, housing ect...bubble after bubble after bubble and when you put the 14trillion$ debt in the picture russia sure looks good with its cheap labour costs
