The US President Donald Trump wants to halt Apple’s production in India. The Company planned to shift iPhone production from China to India. Trump said, “I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday,” while he visited Qatar. “He is building all over India”.
What did Trump claim?
“ They have offered us a deal where they have agreed to charge us no tariffs. I said, Tim, we are treating you good. We put up with all the plants you built in China for years. We are not interested in you building in India. India can take care of itself.”
Trump said that due to the following discussion, Apple will be “ upping their production in the United States”. “We are not interested in you building in India. India can take care of itself”, said the US president.
What Will Apple Do Next?
Apple and the manufacturer partner of this brand, has accelerated its movement away from China. The trend has started after the COVID restrictions that interrupted their work, and the recent US-China tensions and the tariff war. This year, iPhone’s production in India reached $22 billion. That means a 60% increase over the previous year.
Where are iPhones assembled?
The India-made iPhones are assembled at Foxconn’s factory, which is in the southern part of the country. Another major supplier is the Tata Group’s electronics manufacturing arm. It manages Wistron’s local business and Pegatron’s operations.
Cook asked for the supply chain’s future, he replied, “What we learned some time ago, having everything in one location had too much risk with it. We have, over time, with certain parts of the supply chain, opened up new sources of supply. You could see that kind of thing continuing in the future.”
