Apple's potential shift toward increasing iPhone production in the US is estimated to involve substantial financial investment and years of development to replicate its efficient manufacturing capabilities in China. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated that this transition will rely on advanced technology, such as robotic arms, rather than large-scale human labor. Additionally, there are significant growth opportunities in India, where Apple suppliers have already boosted mobile phone exports dramatically, marking a successful effort by the Indian government to attract manufacturing away from China.
Lutnick emphasized that Apple's manufacturing in the US will heavily rely on advanced technology rather than manual labor, indicating a shift to high-tech jobs for Americans.
Modi's administration sees Apple suppliers moving to India as a major victory in boosting local manufacturing and lessening dependence on Chinese production.
