According to forbes the cost of reshoring apple's iphone production would be 4.2 billion. in 2011 apple sold 72 million phones. divide these numbers and you'll find that the cost could be recouped in one year by charging an additional 60 dollars per phone.
Factor in that a big portion of the 4.2 billion figure is in taxes and Trump has called for tax cut incentives to reshore manufacturing and that addition cost would be reduced.

My point being is that that 2k per phone cost figure was pulled straight out of lala land.
