Apple Reroutes 97% Of Foxconn iPhone Exports From India To US Between March And May As Trump Threatens 25% Tariff On Non-US-Made iPhones: Report
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has reportedly increased its iPhone shipments from India to the U.S. in the past few months, as the tech giant moves to protect its U.S. sales from the impact of escalating tariffs on China-made goods. What Happened: Between March and May, 97% of iPhones exported by Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd (OTC:HNHAF), from India were sent to the U.S., according to customs data reviewed by Reuters. That's a steep jump from the 2024 average of just over 50%, signaling a major supply chain realignment. The surge follows President Donald Trump's renewed push for protectionist trade measures. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Last month, Trump publicly criticized Apple's production shift to India, recalling that he told CEO Tim Cook, "We are not interested in you building in India, India can take care of themselves, they are doing very well, we want you to build here." The president also threatened the tech giant with a 25% tariff on iPhones made outside the U.S. In the first five months of 2025, Foxconn shipped $4.4 billion worth of iPhones from India to the U.S., already surpassing 2024's total of $3.7 billion, the report said. Apple even chartered planes in March to fly $2 billion worth of iPhones directly from India to American It's Important: Apple's pivot reflects an urgent response to mounting geopolitical and trade risks, particularly with China. As U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports soar, Apple is increasingly relying on India to maintain access to the crucial U.S. market. Counterpoint Research analysts expect 25% to 30% of global iPhone production will come from India in 2025, up from 18% in 2024, the report added. Apple reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $95.36 billion, surpassing analysts' expectations of $94.53 billion. The tech giant also delivered earnings of $1.65 per share for the quarter, slightly ahead of the projected $1.63 per share. iPhone sales reached $46.84 billion, up from $45.96 billion during the same period last year. Historically, Apple has sold over 60 million iPhones annually in the U.S., with approximately 80% of them manufactured in China, the report said.

Apple confirms iOS 26 with huge updates and major new features
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Apple has confirmed what weeks of rumours had been indicating – its next wave of iOS is getting a big shift in its name, dubbed iOS 26 to match the calendar year during which the software will predominantly be active. That'll skip us from the current iOS 18 straight to 26, but from then onwards it should be a more logical annual change to the number. Alongside that big news, Apple also used today's WWDC to actually show off the new OS, featuring its all-new Liquid Glass design language. After talking up the fact that it hadn't enacted a major design change for pretty much a decade, Apple showed off how Liquid Glass will change the look and feel of your iPhone pretty comprehensively. The new "material" is basically a way of layering elements on your display naturally, with fun transparent effects that behave a lot like glass really would. The presentation showed off a range of glimpses of Liquid Glass in different settings, some of them very similar to the old design, and others more distinct. App icons have been refreshed, for example, but look extremely recognisable, as do many menu items and options. However, the Control Centre is now way glassier and eye-catching (whether you like it or not), while overlaid video controls also showed up much more obviously when demonstrated. Various key apps got big tweaks besides their design, too. The Photos app is going back to a tabbed approach, and the Camera app got a new lick of paint, too – much, well, glassier. The Phone app has a new one-page unified layout for all your favourite contacts, recent calls and voicemails in one place. It's also getting a call screening feature that will be familiar to any Google users, since it has boasted the feature for a while on Pixel hardware. Similar screening options will also come to the Messages app, along with the ability to add backgrounds to your group chats. It'll also get polls, all of which might make it even more of a competitor to the likes of WhatsApp, which has had some of these features for a while. There will be weeks of dissection of all the new tweaks and features that Apple showed off today, but the key knowledge that the software will be called iOS 26 is worth restating – hopefully this doesn't result in any confusion when upgrade time comes this autumn.
