By Aditya Kalra and Munsif Vengattil NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Nearly all the iPhones exported by Foxconn from India went to the United States between March and May, customs data showed, far above the 2024 average of 50% and a clear sign of Apple's efforts to bypass high U.

With more than 60 million iPhones sold in the U.S. each year, Apple’s dependence on Chinese manufacturing had left it vulnerable to substantial price increases. The redirection of its export pipeline through India is aimed at shielding American consumers—and Apple’s margins—from the full impact of these tariffs.

Apple manufacturer Foxconn's iPhone exports to the States have risen from 50% of Indian production to 97%, as Apple tries to mitigate the impact of Trump's tariffs.
