Apple is planning to transfer its iPhone to India due to the ongoing tariff war between the US and China. A report claimed that the company is dependent on China for its foldable iPhone and the 20th anniversary iPhone model. Both these Apple models will come with glass-centric design.
US President Donald Trump has imposed 145 percent tariff on imports from China. With this, the US is levying 26 percent tax on imports from India. Apple is focusing on increasing its production in India. On the other hand, the company depends on China for its first foldable iPhone and the 20th anniversary edition iPhone.
Foldable iPhone and 20th anniversary edition iPhone
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple will not be able to manufacture its first foldable iPhone and 20th Anniversary Edition iPhone in India due to glass-focused design. The company has never produced new design outside China. This trend may also apply to Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone and the 20th anniversary edition iPhone model. Apple’s upcoming devices may be launched by 2027.
It is reported that Apple is considering transferring all the iPhones sold in America to India. According to media reports, the company will manufacture 60 million iPhones sold in the US by the end of 2026 in India. For this, the company has also started talks with government agencies in India. However, the final decision will be taken after the ongoing trade talks between the US and China.
What is the update in the foldable iPhone?
According to reports, Apple’s foldable iPhone will have a 7.8 -inch inner display and a 5.5 -inch outer display. It will have metallic glass hinz mechanism, which will come with a book style design. This phone will have a side mounted touch ID button. This foldable phone will have a dual rear camera setup. Along with this, a single front camera will be given in both folded and unfolded displays. Talking about the price, the price of Apple’s first foldable iPhone can start at $ 2,000 (about 1.7 lakh rupees). It is likely to be launched by the end of 2026.
