Apple is getting ready to shift the entire production of iPhones meant for the US market to India by 2026. The aim is to increase local manufacturing and reduce the impact of import taxes on Chinese goods in the US. This step is part of Apple’s larger plan to spread out its manufacturing beyond China.
The company has already started building more iPhones in India with the help of its major suppliers like Foxconn and Tata. This shift also helps Apple reduce risks linked to global trade tensions, especially between the US and China.
India has become an important part of Apple’s global strategy, especially as it delays its own tariffs on US imports during trade discussions. Since the United States was responsible for 28% of Apple’s iPhone sales last year, moving production to India will help the company avoid possible future trade hurdles.
Although Apple hasn’t officially spoken about this change, experts believe this transition will strengthen its business while boosting India’s role in the global tech supply chain.
