Assembled vs. ManufacturedWhen trying to understand where Apple manufactures its devices, there are two key concepts that sound similar but are different: assembling and manufacturing.
Manufacturing is the process of making the components that go into the iPhone. While Apple designs and sells the iPhone, it doesn't manufacture its components. Instead, Apple uses manufacturers from around the world to deliver individual parts. The manufacturers specialize in particular items—camera specialists manufacture the lens and camera assembly, screen specialists build the display, and so on.
Assembling, on the other hand, is the process of taking all the individual components built by specialist manufacturers and combining them into a finished, working iPhone.
The iPhone's Component ManufacturersBecause there are hundreds of individual components in every iPhone, it's not possible to list every manufacturer whose products are found on the phone. It's also difficult to discern exactly where those components are made because sometimes one company builds the same component at multiple factories. Some of the suppliers of key or interesting parts for the iPhone 5S, 6, and 6S and where they operate, included:

ConclusionAs you can see, the answer to the question of where the iPhone is made isn't simple. It can boil down to China since that's where all the components are assembled, and the final, working devices come from, but it's a complex, nuanced worldwide effort to manufacture all the parts that go into making an iPhone.
