Apple is framing it that things will get better as the economy, global and domestic, gets better. It's better than saying they've lost those Chinese customers to the competition. Also Apple is trying to send a message to Trump that hurting China, to which how Trump measures success, has consequences and blowback coming at the US. And this is all a result of the lies told by US corporations, politicians, and the media about trade in the first place.
US corporations like it when the American people blame it on other countries because that distracts the 100% blame solely on them that makes the decision to outsource. Americans think something underhanded is happening like foreign countries are pointing a gun US corporations' heads and forcing them to outsource jobs to their countries. US corporations are making more money than ever exploiting cheap labor overseas so they're not being forced to do anything they don't want to do.
The politicians who protect corporate America because they want that job after public service being a lobbyist or board member of said corporation don't want to lose their gravy train and also don't want to deal with the headache of pretending to the public that they're doing something about it when they aren't. Blame it on foreigners and they don't have pretend about caring about average Joe America. If everyone is on board against outsourcing, they can easily pass a law to stop outsourcing. What are they going to say? China is pointing a gun to America's head preventing them from passing a law...?
If Trump can claim China is interfering in the US election process just because they're not buying products from Trump's voter base, then it's an act of war if they believe China is pointing a literal gun to America's head to force US corporations to handover American technology and to send American jobs to China. Yet you don't hear anyone in the US government calling for a military counterstrike on China when an act of war has been committed upon the US. The media lies because they get better ratings portraying the US the victim of foreign treachery because Americans want to be portrayed as the victim to counter their history that says otherwise and especially against China. And if they're the victims, they have the right to commit acts that other wise would make them the aggressors instead if they weren't the victims. Because the US is the victim, they get to order China to stop advancing in technology because Chinese can't be trusted with the technology so it's all right stop them for something that would be an act of war if anyone else tried to keep the West backward. China is obligated to allay their fears and the only way to do that is by obeying literally everything they command without question or challenge. And interesting how everything comes down to the same goals as when they were trying to colonize the world.

Most of them will go bankrupt within years and the rest will struggle to find a match for Chinese price + quality, lowering their competitiveness and hopefully giving room for other businesses to move in. Most of these will be Chinese it appears because no one seems to be able to handle the manufacturing problem. Gone are the days where the western world understood what real hard work is and manufacturing will not return to the US even in Trump's wettest of dreams.
