The iPhone maker is reportedly already in talks with some of the world’s largest manufacturers, like Foxconn and the Tata Group, about making the transition.

Apple plans to shift the assembly of all US-sold iPhones to India as soon as next year, according to people familiar with the matter, as President Donald Trump’s trade war forces the tech giant to pivot away from China.

The manufacturing move aims to address massive US tariffs against China that could spur higher prices on the company's biggest-selling product.
