(Reuters) Summary reports say Apple Inclift iPhones from India to the US just before Trump’s new rates were declared. The question now is whether India can act as the main export of the iPhone manufacturer. When Donald Trump’s liberation day rates approached, Apple Inc. apparently tried to brighten iPhones in the US to cushion the slap that is coming. According to the iPhone manufacturer, he had as many as five airplane loads from India of his products in just three days in the last week of March pending the obstacles that go up.

What happens next is the question. Chinese exports have US levies of 54% (with another 50% threatened), so India will have a relative benefit as Apple’s procurement base. This can lead most of the iPhone production from China to India.
