\"India NEW DELHI: Despite US President Donald Trump\u2019s regular rants about Apple\u2019s manufacturing in India, company CEO Tim Cook on Thursday confirmed what is generally now more or less known \u2013 the \u201cmajority\u201d of iPhones sold in the US in the past quarter were Made in India. China \u2013 the erstwhile production giant \u2013 is only playing a second fiddle and is used more to service non-US markets.Cook, speaking to analysts post the company\u2019s quarterly results, said India has been the mainstay when it comes to producing iPhones for the US, while Vietnam is the location for making other products for America such as MacBook, iPad, and Watch.\u201cIn terms of the country of origin, it’s the same as I referenced last quarter. 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,\u201d the Apple CEO said when asked about China versus India production plans.On China, Cook had this to say, \u201c\u2026 the products for other international countries, the vast majority of them are coming from China.\u201dWhile the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on India earlier this week, smartphones, computers and other electronics devices are exempted from the reciprocal tariffs for now.Trump, however, has been pushing Apple and Cook not to make the iPhones in India for meeting the needs of the US consumers. \u201cI had a little problem with Tim Cook\u2026 I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good\u2026 but now I hear you are building all over India. I don\u2019t want you building in India,\u201d he had said during his visit to Doha in May.Cook\u2019s clear stance on India manufacturing, however, is being seen as a signal that the American electronics giant stays bullish on India, especially as the country is also consistent in showing strong growth when it comes to local sales.Cook said that revenues in India are witnessing record growth, led by the growth in sales of iPhones. India is among the high growth markets for Apple which recorded 10% growth globally in its quarterly revenues which closed the quarter at $94 billion.\u201cWe saw an acceleration of growth around the world in the vast majority of markets we track, including greater China and many emerging markets, 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. These results were driven by double-digit growth across iPhone, Mac, and services.\u201dThe Apple CEO also said the company is in the process of expanding its retail presence in India by opening more stores. On sales, India was again amongst the high-growth countries. \u201cWe saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil.\u201dAnd commenting on the global impact of US tariffs across regions (but without identifying any particular country), Cook said the \u201csituation around tariffs is evolving.\u201d\u201c\u2026 so let me provide some colour there. For the June quarter, we incurred approximately $800 million of tariff-related costs. For the September quarter, assuming the current global tariff rates, policies, and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter, and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs. This estimate should not be used to make projections for future quarters, as there are many factors that could change, including tariff rates.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW DELHI: Despite US President Donald Trump\u2019s regular rants about Apple\u2019s manufacturing in India, company CEO Tim Cook…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":112107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[70944,50190,70945,70946,70943,611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-112106","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple-ceo-tim-cook","9":"tag-apple-manufacturing-in-india","10":"tag-apple-sales-growth-in-india","11":"tag-iphone-sales-in-the-us","12":"tag-iphones-made-in-india","13":"tag-mobile","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114957394053108380","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
