2011 , Apple sold a total of around the world 70 million units iPhone, and interestingly, there is not even a mobile phone in the United States. Whether it is rare kind of raw material extraction or iPhone final production assembly, in which the Chinese have occupied the lion's share .
iPhone Supply Chain Detailed
Apple's official website , as of 2011 , Apple has created 43,000 American jobs and an additional 20,000 for the United States to provide a job abroad , but focused on the design and marketing areas ; while its creation in foreign countries 700,000 jobs are concentrated on production and other aspects .
Rare earth resources : 90% from China
According to reports , iPhone's screen , processor and speakers and other equipment production requires a lot of rare earth resources, including lanthanum (La), yttrium (Y) and cerium (Ce) , etc. , according to CNET's survey shows that 90% of rare earth resources mined in China 's Inner Mongolia region .
Rare earth resources : 90% from China
Therefore, including the microphone with the motherboard , including many of iPhone parts are produced in China ; while storage devices, processor and other components are also close to Taiwan and South Korea by the foundries . The only exception is the STMicroelectronics joint venture to produce a gyroscope - which is not only the production of iPhone parts in Asia .
iPhone 5s: 85% assembled in China
Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) has explained that Apple will be placed on production lines abroad " is not due to cheap labor abroad , but because its production efficiency and higher speed ."
Ruby Media Group survey, to recruit 8,700 200,000 engineers and production line workers in China requires only 15 days - and this time on the U.S. will need nine months. In addition, Chinese employees can be scheduled up faster , and is easier to work overtime .
Foxconn iPhone factory production line
To Foxconn , for example, the Chinese company produces 40 percent of the world's electronic devices. Each plant can hire 230,000 Foxconn production line workers and equip multiple production lines , and each line can produce 72,000 units a day after the shell iPhone 5s . Even more surprising is that in China, similar to the Foxconn plant scale plants totaling hundreds .
Profit sharing : Chinese enterprises is less than 4%
Department of Foreign Trade and Commercial Counsellor Liu Chang said that although the majority of iPhone in China, but the United States , Japan, South Korea , respectively, with design and technology to obtain 49.4% , 34% and 13% of the profits , the profits produced by the Chinese do not to 4%.
iPhone production trend reflects the globalization of production , but we are proud of the iPhone production in China , but also should pay more attention to the technological competitiveness of Chinese enterprises .

Currently RE generally poor market conditions , industry suppliers , "said the current offer is not good , not downstream demand , and the prices go down, warehouse inventory is still more , but the list too ."
Recent dysprosium , neodymium oxide, praseodymium prices fell significantly , the market is constantly low burst . It is understood that at present , there are Ganzhou supplier, said you can not take votes by 1.55 million yuan / ton of dysprosium and neodymium oxide, praseodymium with no ticket prices have been lowered to 270,000 yuan / ton. According to the Jiangsu region with suppliers to understand , now on the market can accept this price shipped fewer people . By other suppliers reflects the current dysprosium , neodymium oxide, praseodymium spot oversupply , the market price in a weak shocks. It is understood that before with ticket prices at 195 yuan / ton or so suppliers, today also lowered the price to 190 yuan / ton or so. Currently dysprosium iron market with ticket prices at 193-195 yuan / ton or so, the lower price of 190 yuan / ton. Weak market demand , low volume . Neodymium oxide, praseodymium market , by understanding , traders can accept shipments with no ticket prices are still concentrated in the 285,000 yuan / ton, with ticket prices at 340,000 yuan / ton.
Praseodymium oxide market, the recent heavy grass praseodymium oxide prices slightly lower , the market has a steady supply of inquiry as pre-active , Ganzhou region traders offer at 590,000 yuan / ton, slightly lower than the weekly offer 10,000 yuan / tons.
