iPhone production in India: Apple-ready build iPhone factories for billions

Apple’s efforts to shift its production from China to India to avoid punitive tariffs from the US government accelerate. A report According to the Reuters news agency, a new factory of the finished Tata has now been put into operation, while another Foxconn plant is in the quick structure. Billions of US dollars are to be invested, it said.

Latest iPhones in production long ago

The Tata factory is located in southern India and will deliver the first iPhones from May. Apparently it is about older models. However, Apple has long been building top models on the subcontinent – now a few weeks after the start of manufacture in China.

For the work of Foxconn, which is created in Bengaluru (once known as Bangalore), $ 2.6 billion is planned. A first production line is already standing and should go into operation in the next few days, according to informed people. Between 300 and 500 iPhones per hour should run off the assembly line, including iPhone 16 and the brand new 16e. 50,000 jobs are to be built in full operation, and an overall completion of the system is planned by December 2027.

Record values ​​for deliveries to the USA

Neither Tata nor Foxconn or Apple commented on the report. While Foxconn has its roots in Taiwan and Apple has long served as a finished man in China and Brazil, Tata is a large Indian corporation that is becoming more and more a central partner in the country. At the moment, 75 percent of all iPhones are still being built in China, but that should shrink to 50 percent in the foreseeable future. It is supposedly planned to produce all iPhones intended for the USA in India, as Apple suspects that the punitive tariffs will never be as high as for China.

In March, iPhones worth $ 2 billion are said to have been spent from India to America – 600 tons by plane. However, Apple is put in the way of stones when building production in India: Beijing wants to prevent production machines from being carried out – or slowing down the procedure. The government under US President Donald Trump would like an iPhone production in the USA. However, implementation is almost impossible. Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick recently claimed that Apple was still waiting for “robotic arms” for iPhones To screw together in his homeland.
