This is the highest value of exports by the Cupertino-headquartered company in a month for 2025-26 (FY26).

As a result, total iPhone exports in the first eight months of FY26 have crossed $14 billion. All companies that are part of the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme submit their monthly figures to the government.

Apple’s iPhone exports in November constitute nearly 75 percent of the total smartphone exports from the country amounting to $2.7 billion in the month. The remaining 25 percent was contributed by Samsung (around $432 million), Padget ($48 million), and third-party exporters. Padget is part of Dixon Technologies.
