Apple: Made by Foxconn, not in the US.
nVidia: Made by TSMC, not in the US.
Intel and Tesla are made in the US afaik, but even the hardware startups we do have still tend to manufacture abroad.

If your premise were accurate, the primary value would be in Foxconn and they'd destroy Apple by competing with them and take their $60 billion per year in profit.
Most of the value is from Apple and the other component makers, not the company doing primitive assembly. Further, Foxconn makes nothing in the iPhone, so once again it's very obviously not "made by Foxconn." And that's why Foxconn gets such a tiny slice of the profit.
I believe Apple is trying to go down a different path, by staying involved in the minutiae of manufacturing, materials science, etc, basically everything but actually doing the manufacturing.

Seriously, you do not want to be assembling iPhones. Build a robot to do that tedious work instead.
