Apple is expanding iPhone production in India, particularly for phones intended for the U.S. market, but it has not announced a complete exit from China. Its manufacturing remains part of a broad supplier network spanning several countries, and the available evidence does not establish a current country-by-country share of global iPhone assembly.
What is changing—and what is not
Apple is diversifying where its products are made rather than describing a one-for-one transfer of all iPhone production out of China. In its FY2025 Form 10-K, Apple says a significant majority of its manufacturing is performed in whole or in part by outsourcing partners, located primarily in China mainland, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Apple also characterizes its supply chain as large and complex. Apple FY2025 Form 10-K

That geography describes Apple’s manufacturing network overall; it does not give a verified breakdown of iPhone assembly by country. The distinction matters: an increase in India’s production for U.S. buyers does not by itself show that India has replaced China across Apple’s global iPhone output.
Why India is taking a larger role
India is becoming more important to Apple’s plans for serving the U.S. iPhone market. Reuters reported on April 25, 2025, citing a source, that Apple aimed to make most iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India by the end of 2026. That is a reported target, not confirmation that the target was subsequently achieved. Reuters report via Investing.com

Separately, the Associated Press reported on May 1, 2025, that CEO Tim Cook said most iPhones sold in the U.S. in the then-current fiscal quarter would be sourced from India. This was a statement about a particular quarter and destination market, not a lasting forecast or a global production statistic. Associated Press report
How to read the production claims
| Claim | What it establishes | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Apple’s FY2025 filing names manufacturing locations | Apple relies on outsourcing partners across a network that includes China mainland, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. | A current percentage of iPhones assembled in each country. |
| Reuters’ April 2025 report | A source-based report of an aim to make most U.S.-sold iPhones in India by the end of 2026. | That the aim was met, or that most iPhones worldwide are made in India. |
| Cook’s May 2025 statement, as reported by AP | A time-limited expectation for sourcing most U.S.-sold iPhones from India in the then-current fiscal quarter. | A permanent sourcing pattern or a global production split. |
As of October 2026, the material available here does not verify a current global share of iPhone assembly by country. Claims about exact shares should therefore be treated as estimates unless backed by a dated, attributable source with a clearly defined scope.

What Apple’s U.S. investment means
In August 2025, Apple announced a $600 billion U.S. commitment and an American Manufacturing Program supporting supplier and component activity. The announced figure describes Apple’s stated U.S. commitment; it is not a measure of iPhone assembly moved to the United States. The announcement does not establish a plan to shift iPhone final assembly there wholesale. Apple Newsroom announcement

A wider manufacturing footprint can reduce reliance on a single location and give Apple more options when disruptions or trade measures affect supply. Apple’s own filing flags the complexity and risks of its supply chain, but the cited material does not quantify how much any particular production move reduces those risks. Diversification is therefore best understood as a change in exposure and flexibility, not proof that supply-chain risk has disappeared.

Supplier standards and workforce programs
Apple says it screens potential human-rights, environmental, and other risks before awarding supplier business or beginning production. Its supply-chain materials also describe education and smart-manufacturing initiatives for supplier employees. These are Apple’s descriptions of its own practices, not independent measures of their results. Apple Supply Chain Innovation
