And higher-priced products.

 Assuming that unlike Foxconn in Wisconsin, Apple actually follows
through.
 Even then, as other commentators have noted, in the unlikely
event that Trump's attempts at global destabilization will result
in any new factory builds in the US, those factories will
be highly automated and employ relatively few
full-time permanent employees.  They will not be
the factory assembly lines from a half century ago.

"Dark Factory" has been a term of art for several years already,
especially in China.
Humans are only there to deal with problems. Most of the time,
the line runs in darkness, unmanned.
