As Apple grapples with United States President Donald Trump’s tariff war with China, it has laid out plans to move to Indian assembly of the majority of iPhones it sells in the US by the end of 2026, a move that would double its current output from the South Asian nation and away from China.The tech giant produces in China 80 percent of the 60 million iPhones sold in the US and this is a key step that would help it mitigate some of the costs it faces amid rising tariffs on China.list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4Death, debris and anger about Trump after Russia’s strike on Kyivlist 2 of 4‘Ciao Papa’: Rome gears up to bid farewell to Pope Francislist 3 of 4UN says its food stocks in Gaza completely ‘depleted’ amid Israeli blockadelist 4 of 4Real Madrid boycott pre-Copa activities after ‘unacceptable’ ref commentsend of listThe Financial Times first reported Apple’s plans on Friday.Apple, a company worth more than $3 trillion, is reportedly engaged in discussions with manufacturers it works with in India, including Foxconn and the Tata Group to execute this plan, according to the news agency Reuters, which cited an unnamed source.The tech giant has already expanded production in India to counter tariffs imposed during the first Trump administration.

Even with the growth, only 20 percent of the world’s iPhones are made in India.The shift in production will cost Apple. According to a Reuters report citing an unnamed source, manufacturing iPhones in India is 5-8 percent more expensive than in China.“India will help, but it’s not moving the needle on China’s dependence for Apple.
