Apple to Move Entire US-Bound iPhones Assembly From China to India by 2026.
Apple intends to transfer the production of all iPhones meant for the U.S. market to India by next year, driven by rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, according to the Financial Times, which cited sources familiar with the situation.
This strategic shift is part of the company’s broader effort to diversify its supply chain.
The relocation targets moving the assembly of more than 60 million iPhones sold annually in the U.S. to Indian facilities by the close of 2026.
This change represents Apple’s most substantial manufacturing adjustment in years, expanding on its recent efforts to increase operations in India.
