Apple has urgently transported around 600 tons of iPhones—about 1.5 million units—from India to the U.S. to avoid renewed Trump-era tariffs. The airlifts follow a rapid scale-up in production at Foxconn’s Chennai facility, which increased output by 20%, even operating on Sundays. To support this, Indian authorities accelerated customs clearance to just six hours. Foxconn’s India exports soared to $770 million in January and $643 million in February. The move highlights Apple's deepening manufacturing shift to India, aiming to reduce reliance on China while safeguarding U.S. market supply amid geopolitical and trade uncertainties. (PC: Mint)
