Apple's iPhone Production Shift from China to India
President Trump expressed displeasure with Apple's plans to expand iPhone production in India, pushing for increased domestic production. Apple aims to shift production from China to India to mitigate risks from tariffs and geopolitical tensions. Trump's comments indicate a desire for Apple to localize production in the U.S., but challenges exist due to the established supply chain in China. India-made iPhones are primarily assembled by Foxconn and Tata Group, with production capacity increasing in southern India.
