Apple hat auf den letzten Drücker mit 5 Flugzeugen iPhones aus Indien ausgeflogen.

📦 #Apple hat Ende März innerhalb von drei Tagen fünf Flugzeuge mit #iPhones aus #Indien und #China in die USA geschickt, um neuen US-Zöllen zu entgehen.

Apple's products are primarily manufactured in #China , where over 95% of its devices (e.g., #iPhones, #MacBooks) and assembled . Key suppliers and manufacturing facilities are concentrated there, though #Apple is gradually diversifying production to countries like Mexico, India, Vietnam, Thailand, and the #USA. to mitigate geopolitical risks and supply chain dependencies. Despite this shift, China remains the dominant hub for its manufacturing operations!
