Trump Pushes Back on Apple's India iPhone Move. President Donald Trump has expressed frustration with Apple CEO Tim Cook over Apple's decision to manufacture iPhones for the U.S. market in India. The move, aimed at avoiding hefty tariffs, follows Apple's long-term plan to diversify its supply chain away from China. Trump, who has imposed sweeping tariffs to promote U.S. manufacturing, said he supports Apple building in India for that market — but not for American-bound products. He claimed Apple is increasing production in the U.S., although the company has not commented. Apple expects most iPhones sold in the U.S. will soon be made in India. Analysts say bringing iPhone production to the U.S. is highly unlikely due to high labor costs and complex logistics. One estimate suggests iPhone prices could triple to $3,500 if produced domestically. While Apple has pledged a $500 billion U.S. expansion over four years, including 20,000 new jobs, its core manufacturing is still moving offshore — with India now at the center of its strategy.
