Apple’s $22 billion pivot to India could be a win-win situation amid US-China trade war?

Apple produced $22 billion worth of iPhones in India in the 12 months through March 2025 — a staggering 60 per cent jump from the prior year. According to a Bloomberg report, That means ONE in every five iPhones globally is now made in India, a sharp climb from near-zero just a few years ago.

The iPhones are built across factories in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, mostly by Foxconn, Apple’s biggest manufacturing partner globally. Tata Electronics and Pegatron also contribute to this growing output.
