Last week, Donald Trump made headlines once again.. this time by issuing veiled threats to Apple CEO Tim Cook over the company’s expanding operations in India. But despite the political noise, Apple is pushing full steam ahead with its India strategy, with Foxconn reportedly set to double iPhone production in the country this year. As Apple positions India as a key manufacturing hub and a potential alternative to China, host Dia Rekhi is joined by Tarun Pathak, Research Director at Counterpoint Research, and ET’s Suraksha P to break down the implications of Trump’s remarks. They explore the ground realities at Apple’s top supplier Foxconn’s new Bengaluru facility and examine whether Apple could truly shift away from China or even bring iPhone production to the US.
