Apple plans to manufacture most iPhones sold in the U.S. in India by 2026 to avoid potential higher tariffs in China. Talks are underway with Foxconn and Tata. Manufacturing costs in India are 5-8% higher than in China. In April, the U.S. imposed 26% duties on imports from India.

India’s higher duties on mobile phone parts make production expensive. Apple has increased production in India, shipping $2 billion worth of iPhones to the U.S. in March. Trump’s administration has paused most duties for three months. Apple is diversifying manufacturing beyond China, with India playing a critical role.
