The devices are still subject to a separate 20 per cent rate that applies to all imports from China.India was hit with a so-called reciprocal tariff of 26 per cent, though this is paused while New Delhi pushes for a bilateral trade agreement with the US. On a visit to India this week, US vice-president JD Vance said the two countries were making “very good progress”.The US accounted for about 28 per cent of Apple’s 232.1mn global iPhone shipments in 2024, according to the International Data Corporation.Apple would need to further increase capacity in India to fulfil all US orders from the country.Last year, as the iPhone maker sought to increase output from India, Foxconn and Tata started importing pre-assembled component sets from China.“We believe this is going to be an important move for Apple to be able to maintain its growth and momentum,” said Daniel Newman, chief executive at the Futurum Group research firm. “We are seeing in real time how a company with these resources is moving at relative light speed to address the tariff risk.”Apple is reporting quarterly earnings next week as investors seek to make sense of the impact of Trump’s tariff plans. The company does not offer precise guidance on earnings and has refrained from discussing the tariffs.Chief executive Tim Cook has been in regular contact with Trump and his administration since attending the president’s inauguration in January.Apple declined to comment.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":1.1}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":14,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":2,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"isCrawlerRequest":true}
