President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on Indian goods will do little to slow the role of the Asian country as a key hub for manufacturing iPhones, even when it means more expensive smartphones for U.S.

Apple assembles its iPhones in Foxconn and Tata Electronics’ factories in India. Earlier, Canalys analyst Sanyam Chaurasia told Outlook Business that Foxconn supplies more than half of the 23.9mn iPhone units exported from India. He noted that Tata Group’s electronics unit now accounts for nearly four in ten iPhones exported from India.

A significant portion of India's exports like pharmaceutical, critical minerals and electronic devices will reportedly be exempted from Trump's tariffs.
