Apple CEO Tim Cook said that most iPhones sold in the US during last quarter i.e. Q2 were made in India, despite President Donald Trump’s repeated criticism of Apple’s manufacturing shift. Speaking after Apple’s quarterly results on July 31, Cook said India has now become the main hub for iPhone production for the US market, while China is focusing more on non-US regions. “In terms of the country of origin, it’s the same as I referenced last quarter. There hasn’t been a change to that, which is the vast majority of the iPhone sold in the US or the majority, I should say, have a country of origin of India,” Tim Cook told analysts.

For other Apple products like MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches, Vietnam has become the primary manufacturing base for US demand. “The products for other international countries, the vast majority of them are coming from China,” the Apple CEO stated
