Apple Increases iPhone Production in India.

Apple Increases its iPhone production in India, making almost 7% of its iPhones there. The company is now exploring ways to reduce its reliance on China.

Apple will likely try to manufacture the next iPhones in India at the same time as in China.

Apple’s push into India has helped place the company at the heart of India’s ambitions.

Even before last year’s iPhone City flare-up, Apple recognized the need to diversify its supply chain.

Apple's production chain encompasses hundreds of companies across the world and employs millions.

Apple will open its first two retail stores in India next week, one in the financial hub of Mumbai and another in the capital New Delhi.

Reducing dependence on China’s dominance in the technology supply chain will face significant challenges.

Apple’s move into India is a significant one and could be the start of a trend for other US brands.
