Apple ramped up iPhone assembly in India by roughly 53% last year, now assembling about a quarter of its flagship devices there as the company accelerates its shift away from Chinese Communist Party-controlled China. The tech giant assembled around 55 million iPhones in India in 2025, up sharply from 36 million the prior year, amid ongoing efforts to diversify its supply chain amid geopolitical tensions and trade pressures. Apple has aggressively expanded in the world’s most populous nation in recent years, aided by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme designed to position India as a global manufacturing powerhouse. These government subsidies have helped counter some of India’s inherent challenges, such as a less mature supply chain than China’s and persistent logistics hurdles. :
Hopefully sooner than later, it’ll be “China who?” India is Apple’s new best product assembly friend, and the future is finally looking delightfully decentralized!
