We can manufacture electronics here, though the exact details of the Apple Watch are probably not easy to accommodate. (The manufacturing engineers knew it would be built in China, so they chose parts and processes that are mature there. For example, if the requirement was for all the parts to be made in the US, then it would probably use an Intel chip, since those are made in the US. It probably wouldn't get 2 days of battery life if they used one of those, however.) |

Intel both has overseas fabs and contracts some parts to TSMC, especially for their latest processes.
I'm pretty sure the dies in Meteor Lake are of Irish and Taiwanese origin, and have nothing made in the US.
