Plenty of people in the US were involved in getting that iPhone to the person who bought it. Hardware and software engineers at Apple, distribution center employees, truck drivers, customer service reps at the AT&T or Verizon store where many people still buy their phones. Even some of the internal parts of an iPhone are manufactured in the US.

Just because many goods are assembled internationally does not mean that buying those goods does not stimulate the US economy in any way.
