Tim Cook reiterates most iPhones sold in US are made in India; says majority of Apple products remain outside tariff

NEW DELHI: Apple CEO Tim Cook on Thursday said that the vast majority of its products are outside the purview of tariffs as they fall under the Section 232 investigation. Cook, while speaking during the Q3 FY2025 earnings call, also reiterated that the majority of iPhones sold in the US have India as their country of origin. His comments came despite US President Donald Trump having twice urged him not to manufacture or invest in India but in the US. Trump recently announced a 25% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods. However, Section 232 exempts products such as semiconductors and smartphones from these tariffs.
