> According to Bloomberg, Apple increased iPhone production in India by about 53% last year and assembled around 55 million devices in 2025. That’s up from 36 million in 2024.
>
> The company now produces roughly one-quarter of its iPhones in India. The goal is to reduce reliance on China and avoid U.S. tariffs tied to trade disputes between the two countries.
