Signs that Apple is no longer dependent on China may be reflected in iPhone production. According to a new report from Bloomberg, One in seven iPhones leaves India. Because the reasons are clear They do not want to be tied to external problems like a new pandemic (like covid) or political tensions between the US and China. After a few years it will be possible to say that the Cupertinos no longer produce their flagship devices there.

In a few years, India will be the exclusive manufacturing location of the iPhone

This move is so meaningful that According to Apple’s production, a figure of around $14 billion is reported in India for fiscal year 2024. So that means Apple gained 14%, or translated into one in every seven devices.

This was made possible thanks to transactions with official Apple suppliers. The division is currently 67% owned by Foxconn, 17% by Pegatron, and 14% by Wistron; Wistron was split the previous year due to a profit dispute. The last tranche of this segment is currently in the hands of Tata, a large Indian conglomerate.

Here, the risk of being dependent on a single company is eliminated. and the relationship between Pegatron and Tata is also improving, with Tata able to take control of the only factory in India.

A quarter of all iPhones could be produced in India by 2025

The latest report shows that Apple may produce a quarter of its iPhones in India by next year By 2027, this figure may increase by half. The process has apparently not been easy, but there is no sign that progress will accelerate. Apple has confirmed for the entire public that it is confident in its actions and officially opened its first store in this region a year ago, right in Mumbai.

Once the deadlines are met, it will be necessary to see whether this will be taken into account in Apple’s reports or will remain an open secret until it stops relying on China altogether.. Would it be in Apple’s interest to have another iPhone factory in the world besides India? It is said that it is already a fact that some iPhones are not produced in any country other than Brazil.

If it weren’t for the pandemic, maybe Apple wouldn’t be convinced to gradually withdraw from China.. This abnormal case is said to cost him close to a billion dollars a week. Undoubtedly, Cupertinos make their moves based on predictions. The consequences of political tensions have not yet been evaluated, but it is enough to know that Apple devices have been banned by some Chinese officials.
