It was clear. If one of the things that Apple has learned in these months that we have been a global pandemic due to the happy Covid-19 is that you must diversify the production of your devices. When the Coronavirus crisis began, factories in China closed while the rest of the world watched with concern, still unaware of what was to come.
It is true that they are already operating at full capacity, but the warning was clear for the company. You cannot have almost all the production of your products in one country. So in record time the Vietnamese have put the batteries and set up the first plant to supply Apple's demand. They begin to manufacture the AirPods this month, and the next, it may be a plant for manufacture iPhones in India.
A report published today in Economic Times ensures that Apple is considering the possibility of changing up to one fifth of iPhone production from China to India over the next five years. Most of the production would be for export.
This report ensures that up to $ 40 billion worth of iPhones could be made in India. In this country the sales figure of these Apple mobiles is 1.500 million dollars, which means that the vast majority of the production would go to other countries.
Apple is in talks with the Government of India to lay a foundation for collaboration. Two current iPhone makers would set up these new production plants: Wistron and Foxconn. If this happened, these two manufacturers of the iPhones would become the largest exporter in India.
Apple has already started make your AirPods in Vietnam. Today we also learned that the producer of Apple's A-series chips, TSMC, plans to manufacture such processors in the US It is clear that the company has understood that it must diversify its production in other countries outside of China.
