Because of Trump’s tariffs, Apple is moving the assembly of the iPhone it sells in the US to India
According to the Financial Times (FT), Apple, a U.S. business, intends to relocate the assembly of all iPhones it sells in the United States to India next year as a result of the trade war between Washington and Beijing.
According to the British tabloid, which quotes people familiar with the matter, the plan is a «faster» and «broader» goal than anticipated, even though it is a component of Apple’s strategy to diversify its supply chain.
By the end of 2026, the objective is to shift the assembly of the more than 60 million iPhones sold in the US to India, doubling production from the Asian behemoth and reversing decades of investment in smartphone assembly in China.
Through middlemen like Taiwan’s Foxconn, the biggest electronics manufacturer in the world, Apple produces the majority of its iPhones in China.
