> I'd be fine with iPhones costing 2-3x more if I knew they were built domestically
This is easy to check!
Pretend they are built domestically and give 2x the cost of it to a charity you love the next time you buy an iPhone.
Charity isn't the same as a functioning domestic economy which is what he and everyone else saying this want.
The key word in my comment is “pretend.”
There is some situation in which he is claiming to be happily spending 3x on an iPhone.
He should pretend that situation exists to see if he will actually spend 3x on an iPhone before being so confident that he actually will happily spend 3x on an iPhone in some uncertain future.
