Apple Rewiring iPhone Supply Chain
Apple is methodically rewiring its global manufacturing footprint, reducing reliance on China and increasing production in India by 53% in 2025.
The shift reflects growing geopolitical tensions and supply chain vulnerabilities exposed by events like COVID-19. Apple's diversification aims to mitigate risks associated with concentrating production in a single region. Foxconn and Pegatron, key Apple suppliers, are expanding their Indian facilities to accommodate increased iPhone assembly. This move signals a long-term commitment to India as a strategic manufacturing hub. Beyond iPhones, Apple is reportedly considering shifting production of other devices, including iPads and MacBooks, to India. This broader diversification strategy could further reduce Apple's reliance on China.
