Apple posts annual lists of all their suppliers and where the manufacturing is done on their page here. https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/

When I worked there I got to see a few presentations on the iPhone supply chain and they do indeed source and ship single components from countries and companies. Remember though that even a single component for iPhone will end up being huge volumes of parts.

Any supplier with locations outside of Asia ALSO has locations in Asia AFAICT. It’s unclear what manufacturing occurs outside of Asia and Apple doesn’t categorize what is getting manufactured. It could be things like assembly line equipment is manufactured outside Asia and the components themselves within Asia or prototypes are manufactured outside Asia with mass manufacturing inside Asia.

Do you have a concrete example of any mass manufactured electronics component coming from outside China? Heck, I’m not even convinced that Gorilla Glass is made outside Asia because Corning is listed as having 3 locations and 2 are in Asia so it would be supremely strange to be mass manufacturing some part of the iPhone in Corning.
