Apple makes around 25% of the iPhones in the world in India with its production of the marquee devices increasing by around 53 percent in the last year, as per a report by Bloomberg. The increased production of iPhones in India has been linked to an effort by the Cupertino-based tech giant to avoid the China tariffs levied by the US administration. In absolute terms, the report notes that Apple assembled around 55 million iPhones in India in 2025, up from the 36 million iPhones assembled a year earlier. The company is said to be producing around 220 to 230 million iPhones globally. However, the report points out that electronics assembly still costs more in India compared to manufacturing hubs like China and Vietnam.
