In May, 89% of all iPhones made in India were shipped to the U.S., up sharply from 58% a year earlier — a clear reflection of Apple’s strategy to bypass steep U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made products

By Aditya Kalra and Munsif Vengattil NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Nearly all the iPhones exported by Foxconn from India went to the United States between March and May, customs data showed, far above the 2024 average of 50% and a clear sign of Apple's efforts to bypass high U.

Apple’s contract manufacturers in India exported over 20.4 million iPhones from January to May 2025, a steep 57% jump from the same 5-month period in 2024.
