Do not underestimate the size of the US market.
Completely irrelevant and beside the point.Making something in the US rather than China will reduce demand, because the price will have to rise, it's that simple.
This is economics 101.
Please give me an example where a company will be able to sell more with a higher price, no matter HOW big the US market????

Forgive me, do they make anything in the USA that sells ?
No, just the biggest manufacturing industry in the world, except our products don't break or corrode after 2 weeks like the Chinese.walm said:

Who wants a Squire or Mexican Strat? They sell entirely on price, and who wants to support that labor model?
Plenty of people.Obviously.
It's almost as if you are so blinkered you can't understand the rampant success of WalMart or Target.
In fact, it's so ignorant, you can't possibly understand the very basic economics of price/demand.

The question was "Please give me an example where a company will be able to sell more with a higher price, no matter HOW big the US market????"

And basically no other company has a fan base like Apple. They would most likely be an exception (even if confirmed), that would test the rule sure, but doesnt prove anyone else would be capable of it. Its a huge gamble wouldnt you agree?

I'm not so sure. People don't purchase iPhones because they're good value for money (they're not.). If you can afford a $600 iPhone, you can probably afford a $700 iPhone.
Trust me, if Apple could sell just as many iPhones at $700 as they do at $600 then they would be charging $700.superkartracer said:

I've never seen a civilian firearm hurt or kill someone due to defective United States manufacturing. Being due to operator error is a different story and in the rare occasion it's cheaply made foreign ammunition.Even the cheapest American made firearms like high-point are built to a high standard.
That statement is totally false.

No, we are theorising that it may be possible due to religious like nature of some of their fans. My point was tongue in cheek. I dont think the average user of their products would stomach a big rise in costs.

- possible answer. And thinking about it more and agreeing with Walm, I now disagree. Why wouldnt they be charging it already? Its not like they arent ripping the arse out of their customers already - if they could, they would go further with it.

This isn't rocket science, it's economics 101.
You put the price up and demand goes down.
The iPhone isn't a Giffen good.
