Earlier there was information that Apple plans to postpone production of iPhone from China to India to avoid high tariffs that affect the cost of production. However, analysts consider this step unrealistic. About it They write My Drivers.
The analyst Craig Moffitt notes that the trade conflict between the US and China creates problems for both expenses and sales and transfer of iPhone to India will not solve all these issues.
Although India has the potential to increase iPhone production , it currently provides only 20% of world deliveries. In addition, smartphone components will still be made in China, which leaves Apple dependent on the Chinese production base. Moffitt also emphasizes that the low cost of labor in India can help keep the margin, but this does not solve the problem of tariffs.
In addition, the Chinese authorities complicate the transportation of equipment outside the country, which creates additional obstacles to Apple. Thus, although the transfer of production can reduce costs in the long run, the implementation of this plan remains a difficult task.
