A quarter of all new iPhones are now made in India
Apple now makes about 25% of its new iPhones in India, according to Bloomberg. Production in the country reached an estimated 55 million units last year, up from 36 million in 2024.
Apple first moved some iPhone assembly to India in 2017 with the iPhone SE, followed by the iPhone 6s in 2018. The shift was initially a way to avoid India’s steep import taxes on phones made in China. As US-China trade tensions grew, Apple pushed more production out of China, turning India into a major iPhone manufacturing base.
