Analyst Predicts Increased iPhone Production in India
An analyst thinks Apple will make more and more iPhones in India, maybe even up to 65% of all iPhones, by late 2025.
This is because Apple is facing pressure to move production away from China.
The company already makes a lot of phones in India, and plans to make even more there.
Apple is also investing more money into India and it will be more expensive to make iPhones in the US.
Analyst predicts Apple could manufacture up to 65% of iPhones in India by Fall 2025.
This prediction comes amid political pressure to shift production from China.
Apple manufactured $22 billion worth of iPhones in India in the year ending March 2025.
Foxconn is investing $1.5 billion in India and plans to produce 25-30 million iPhones in 2025.
US manufacturing of iPhones is unlikely in the near term due to high costs.
