Apple is reportedly manufacturing all four iPhone 17 models in India

Apple is shifting more iPhone production to India ahead of the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. The company will manufacture all four iPhone 17 models in India, and for the first time, US-bound shipments for the entire lineup will come from India at launch. This shift is part of Apple's efforts to reduce its reliance on China for iPhone manufacturing. Factories controlled by Tata Group, an Indian multinational, will account for up to half of India's iPhone output over the next two years. Apple's longtime partner Foxconn Technology Group is also involved through its production hub in Bangalore. The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be unveiled in September, with the usual iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models, and a possible slimmer premium model called the iPhone Air. The iPhone 17e, the next generation of Apple's budget-friendly model, is more likely to arrive in early 2026. The article also mentions that iPhones imported from India have so far evaded tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, which is likely a factor in Apple's decision to shift more production to India.
