Nov 18, 2016:

Nikkei Asian Review reports Apple began actively exploring the possibility of an American made iPhone. Apple had asked partners to put together a 'Made in the USA' plan. They say Apple approached two Chinese companies that share the role of assembling its iPhones to investigate the possibility of making iPhones in U.S. factories.

Update 2017:

Following a strong second fiscal quarter in 2017 in which its revenues hit nearly $53 billion, Apple is taking on a mission to bring more manufacturing jobs back to the US with the creation of a billion-dollar fund that aims to do just that. Speaking to CNBC’s Jim Cramer, CEO Tim Cook said: "Apple presently has 80,000 people working in the US alone, of which about 25,000 are employed in the company’s research and development wings. He also said that Apple spent $50 billion last year in the US, buying parts from suppliers who manufacture locally, including Corning and 3M."
