South Korean media: India's iPhone production surges by 60%! On April 13, South Korean media "Asia Economy" published an article stating that Apple Inc. has increased its iPhone production in India by 60% over the past year. This is interpreted as a move towards diversifying the supply chain. It was reported that the total value of iPhones produced by Apple in India from last April to this March reached 2.2 billion US dollars, representing nearly a 60% increase compared to the previous year. The calculation is based on the factory shipping price rather than the retail price at stores. Consequently, India's share of global iPhone production has risen to about 20%. According to multiple sources, since US President Donald Trump threatened to impose reciprocal tariffs in February, India's exports of iPhones to the US have also surged significantly. India's Minister of Technology also mentioned that during the same period, Apple exported iPhones worth 1.5 trillion Indian rupees (approximately 126.9 billion yuan RMB). It was reported that Apple began using six chartered flights last month to urgently airlift approximately 1.5 million iPhones (weighing 600 tons) from India to the US in order to avoid reciprocal tariffs. Apple plans to increase the supply of iPhones made in India to the US market in the future. Meanwhile, the US suddenly excluded smartphones, computers, and other products from the list of goods subject to reciprocal tariffs on the 11th. Samsung Electronics and Apple, among others, which have production bases in China, can now breathe a sigh of relief. The original article can be found here: [link].
