From design to assembly, the iPhone is a product of many hands. Here’s a look at its complex production process.

The iPhone is one of the most popular smartphones in the world. But how – and where – is it produced?

Finshots, a service behind 3-minute daily financial news, has shared on X an interesting visual that shows iPhone’s production process.

The production of an iPhone begins with the design and engineering work done at Apple’s headquarters in California.

The various parts of the iPhone are manufactured by different companies around the globe after the design is finalized.

The display is made by Samsung or LG in South Korea, the flash memory is made by Toshiba in Japan and Samsung in South Korea, and the A-series chipsets are made by TSMC in Taiwan and Samsung in South Korea.

The batteries are manufactured either in South Korea (Samsung) or China (Sunwoda Electric).

The final assembly of the iPhone is done mainly by Foxconn in China.

iPhone – made in the USA, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan… and this is not all, as the list is incomplete.

Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World

by CAL NEWPORT

I remember when I first encountered Facebook: It was the spring of 2004; I was a senior in college and began to notice an increasing number of my friends talk about a website called thefacebook.com. The first person to show me an actual Facebook profile was Julie, who was then my girlfriend, and now my wife.

“My memory of it was that it was a novelty,” she told me recently. “It had been sold to us as a virtual version of our printed freshman directory, something we could use to look up the boyfriends or girlfriends of people we knew.”

The key word in this memory is novelty. Facebook didn’t arrive in our world with a promise to radically transform the rhythms of our social and civic lives; it was just one diversion among many. In the spring of 2004, the people I knew who signed up for thefacebook.com were almost certainly spending significantly more time playing Snood (a Tetris-style puzzle game that was inexplicably popular) than they were tweaking their profiles or poking their virtual friends.
