Apple is preparing to shift the production of all iPhone models that will be sold in the US market to India by the end of 2026. With this move, the company aims to reduce its dependence on China and avoid additional taxes that have come into effect.

Apple is officially shifting iPhone production to India

The long-standing efforts of US-based technology giants to move production out of China have not yet yielded full results. Apple is planning to take an important step in this process and move iPhone production, at least for US sales, out of China.

India has become the primary production center in this strategy. Currently, one in every six iPhones sold in the world is manufactured here. The investments made have provided direct and indirect employment opportunities for hundreds of thousands of people in the country’s economy.

Many factors have been effective in Apple’s shift to India. Among these are the country’s large labor force potential, relatively lower production costs, and various incentives provided by the government to foreign investors.

The Indian government has paved the way for domestic and foreign companies to increase their production investments with the “Make in India” program it has implemented in the field of electronics production in recent years. Apple also wants to benefit more from the benefits offered by this program.

The additional tariffs implemented during the Trump era and still in effect create additional costs for products manufactured in China to enter the US. Apple aims to get rid of these costs with its new strategy.
