"40 million potential phones" sounds like a lot, but it's a lot less of a lot if you have to tank your entire supply chain to sell them.

Exactly, especially to placate a country with no electronics manufacturing industry to speak of. How would Apple even meet that 40% target, and how is that number defined? Is it by % of material cost, or size, or weight, or what?
