Apple Might Start Making More iPhones in the U.S.

Former President Donald Trump said he told Apple CEO Tim Cook in Qatar that he doesn’t want Apple to move iPhone production to India. Trump criticized India for having high import taxes that make it hard to sell American products there. He mentioned that India offered to lower some taxes during trade talks.

After their conversation, Bloomberg reported that Apple may increase iPhone production in the United States, though it’s not clear when or how much.

Right now, most iPhones are still made in China, but more are coming from India—26% of iPhones shipped to the U.S. in early 2025 were made in India, up from 16% last year. China’s share dropped slightly, from 56% to 52%.

India just approved a new Foxconn plant worth $435 million, and Tata Group is also helping build iPhones there. Apple’s production in India grew about 60% over the past year, reaching around $22 billion.

Neither Apple nor the White House has officially commented. Trump’s comments come as companies rethink where they build products due to political and trade risks.

Why this matters:
If Apple shifts more iPhone production back to the U.S., it could cost more and slow down their growth in India—where iPhone demand is rising fast. Investors are watching closely and will look for updates during Apple’s next earnings report in June.
