Trump’s trade policies are finally moving all of Apple’s US iPhone production out of China... to India
Apple plans to source the entirety of the 60 million iPhones it sells annually in the US from India as soon as next year, the Financial Times reports. That’s double what it currently produces there.
Apple had already been moving production to the subcontinent but had been doing so at a slower pace, as a way to get around ongoing tariff threats from the Trump administration that have been most brutal toward China, where Apple currently manufactures most of its iPhones.
Of course, the administration’s repeated intent for these tariffs was to bring production, specifically of the iPhone, to the US. That’s not what’s happening.
