Title: Apple is Reportedly Making More of Its New iPhones in India Instead of
China

An anonymous reader shares a report: Apple is manufacturing more of its
iPhone 17 phones for the US in India instead of in China, and for the first
time, the full lineup of new models will ship from India at launch, according
to Bloomberg. The company is also working on a successor to the iPhone 16E
that it plans to make in India, Bloomberg says. Apple has increasingly been
moving iPhone production to India to reduce its dependence on manufacturing
in China. The company already expects to pay $1.1 billion in tariffs for the
current quarter, but Bloomberg reports that currently, Apple's exports of
iPhones to the US from India are exempted from tariffs. That's despite the
Trump administration's 50 percent tariff on many imports from India, and
while analyst Patrick Moorhead says the move "does dodge some tariffs," he
noted that iPhone subassemblies are still mostly produced in China then
shipped to India for final assembly.
