Apple Airlifts 600 Tonnes of iPhones From India
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|April 11, 2025
Tech giant Apple chartered cargo flights to ferry 600 tonnes of iPhones, or as many as 15 lakh, to the United States from India, after it stepped up production there in an effort to beat President Donald Trump's tariffs, sources told Reuters.
NEW DELHI:
The details of the push provide an insight into the U.S. smartphone company's private strategy to navigate around the Trump tariffs and build up inventory of its popular iPhones in the United States, one of its biggest markets.
Analysts have warned that US prices of iPhones could surge, given Apple's high reliance on imports from China, the main manufacturing hub of the devices, which is subject to Trump's highest tariff rate of 125%.
That figure is far in excess of the tariff of 26% on imports from India, but which is now on hold after Trump called a 90-day pause this week that excludes China.
Apple "wanted to beat the tariff," said one of the sources familiar with the planning.
