Apple already has a solution for China tariffs: the problem is that it will take more than they would like

Apple and Great Technology have a very big tariff problem. And although they relaxed a little, and even Apple received more benefits than other companies regarding their production in China, though This is that it is far from status quo former. Therefore, he wants to introduce special measures, at least important enough to eliminate part of the uncertainty of the commercial war between the United States and China.

As they indicate in BloombergApple plan is simple: To eliminate as much dependence as possible on China in relation to the iPhone, which will remain in the USA. In order to soften the risks associated with tariffs and geopolitical tension in full, if anything taught us in recent weeks, they can change within a few hours and days. And without warning.

Thus, the plan is to double its production efforts in India, another area in which Apple has invested in recent years to eliminate part of its dependence on China, although it is logically not in the latest dimensions and abilities.

Apple doubles production in India

According to the aforementioned environment, Apple wants to duplicate, literally, its annual iPhone production produced in India until 80 million units are reached. In the last financial year, about 40 million iPhone, produced in India, is not enough for a proposal, alone, US demand, which is about 60 million.

Actually, Financial times He already reported that Apple’s goal was to produce all its iPhone sold in the United States in India by the end of 2026 so that Bloomberg sources did nothing but confirm Apple efforts in this regard. What is unclear is that it will be achieved by sufficient speed to soften the effect of tariffs on average prices paid by American users on the iPhone, also knowing that the next model is not far off.

However, since the explosion of the commercial war and the introduction of tariffs, the supply of iPhone made in India in the United States. The question that many analysts ask is whether India has the infrastructure and experience necessary for the production of all the iPhone, which are currently produced in China, and, logically, is worth it. If you get production to cope with the demand of the United States, such a radical measure is not required.
