Almost all iPhones are made in China. They cannot pull out without shutting down.
They make on average 60,000 ios devices there every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Your math adds up to 525,600,000 iOS devices per year. That can't possibly be right
> In 2023, Apple shipped 234.6 million iPhones, capturing 20.1% market share and growing 3.7% year over year, according to IDC data. [0]
So, probably not 525.6 million iOS devices a year, but safe to assume it's going to be 300+ million for 2025.
35k devices an hour, give or take.

Apple has more devices than iPhones, so the OPs numbers are not unbelievable
Google pulled out but their phones are made in China. When push comes to shove money always wins still in China.
