Move over China: iPhones for America now mostly assembled in India, confirms Apple CEO Tim Cook
Getty Images Apple CEO Tim Cook Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed on Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the United States in the past quarter were manufactured in India, signaling a major shift in the company's global supply chain, reported TOI. China, once Apple's dominant manufacturing hub, is now producing primarily for non-US to the TOI report, Cook told analysts after Apple's quarterly earnings call, 'There hasn't been a change to that, which is the vast majority of the iPhone sold in the US or the majority, I should say have a country of origin of India.'The Apple chief added that while India leads iPhone production for the US, Vietnam is the primary source for other Apple products such as MacBooks, iPads, and Apple he said, continues to manufacture most Apple products destined for other international markets. '...the products for other international countries, the vast majority of them are coming from China,' Cook said. This disclosure comes amid criticism from former US President Donald Trump, who earlier this year expressed dissatisfaction over Apple's shift toward Indian manufacturing. 'I had a little problem with Tim Cook... I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good... but now I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India,' Trump had remarked during his May visit to Doha. Smartphones and electronics, however, remain exempt from the new 25% US tariffs on Indian goods announced earlier this focus on India also extends to its domestic market. Cook said the company continues to see strong revenue growth in India, driven by iPhone sales. 'We saw an acceleration of growth around the world in the vast majority of markets we track... and we had June quarter revenue records in more than two dozen countries and regions, including the US, Canada, Latin America, Western Europe, the Middle East, India, and South Asia," TOI quoted him as saying. India is among Apple's fastest-growing markets, and the company plans to expand its retail footprint in the said iPhone sales grew in every region, with double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, Brazil, South Asia, and the Middle East. Addressing concerns around tariffs, Cook said, 'For the June quarter, we incurred approximately $800 million of tariff-related costs. For the September quarter... we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs.' However, he added that these numbers could vary depending on future tariff policy changes.

Explained: The reason why India wouldn't budge and Trump slapped 25% tariff TOI Explains Reuters Aug 2, 2025, 12:19 IST IST The US wants India to open its market to American products including dairy, corn and soybeans, but India has refused in order to protect its farmers.

Illegal liquor outlets thrive in protected forests in Faridabad
: Liquor vends and taverns are operating openly on Aravali forest land and protected greenbelts across Faridabad, some hidden behind thick vegetation, others right in the middle of residential zones, in clear violation of environmental laws. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now At least four vends have come up on forest land, and over 35 more in green belts in areas like Bhatola, Mangar, Surajkund Road and Lakkarpur. Many of these locations fall within buffer zones of the Aravalis, where any construction or commercial activity is either restricted or banned under the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA), 1900. The vends are not small kiosks. In most places, there are permanent structures -- double-shutter shops with paved courtyards, tin-roofed seating areas and boundary walls. Ahatas attached to them offer open-air drinking spaces with plastic chairs, wooden benches and food counters. In some cases, drains around the premises were clogged with empty bottles, plastic cups, leftover food items and liquor sachets. One of the outlets in Bhatola lies on protected forest land, which is owned by the irrigation department. Another store in a forest area is located close to the Manav Rachna University, and a third in Lakkarpur is on Aravali land owned by the tourism department. A fourth outlet is carved out of a green belt in Mangar, with a parcel of Aravali land likely flattened to make space for the shop. The store's owners also installed floodlights here. On Friday, most staffers at these stores refused to talk or show any permits. But an employee of a wine shop along Surajkund Road told TOI the store has been at the spot for years. "No one came to say that it is illegal," he said. Another staffer at the wine shop in Mangar said he wasn't aware that this was forest land. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now An excise department official on Friday refused to comment on the legality of these shops. "The matter is sub-judice. A verification survey can be initiated soon," a district excise official said. A forest department official said on Friday that they had issued notices to these vends last week. "These are old structures, but we issued notices last week. One of them, which is near Surajkund Road, has around 20% of its structure in PLPA area. We will carry out a demarcation and issue a notice. The Mangar one is in section 4 of PLPA. We will carry out appropriate action against these units," said Vipin Kumar Singh, divisional forest officer, Faridabad. The matter of liquor vends operating illegally in protected forests had reached the National Green Tribunal (NGT) in Dec last year. Faridabad-based activist Narender Sirohi had filed a petition, alleging that the state govt has allowed rampant commercialisation of protected Aravali land. "These outlets are polluting forest land and green belts, creating constant nuisance and encouraging illegal commercial activities in areas where only afforestation or open land use is permitted. Despite multiple complaints, no action was taken. That's why I approached the tribunal," Sirohi told TOI. He said that these shops were not "accidental violations", these laid bare "regulatory apathy". "Entire green belts are loaded with heaps of garbage… Such activities are not only causing degradation of the environment, but are also affecting public health at large," he added. For now, NGT has sought responses from the forest department, Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB), excise department, district administration and the Union environment ministry. A hearing is expected by Oct. Environmentalists said such commercial operations in forest areas were "environmental vandalism". "Govt talks of preserving green belts, but liquor outlets are being allowed to thrive in the very areas meant for reforestation and ecological buffers," said Sunil Harsana, an ecologist and activist.
