"Apple" takes an important step toward the relocation of the supply chain in America

Apple intends to acquire more than 19 billion electronic chips from the United States this year, as part of a gradual shift in its supply chains, with the aim of reducing its dependence on China and improving the role of India in the production of ‘iPhone’ phones in return. CEO Tim Cook talked about more dependence on Taiwan Seiwan SiicConductor Manufacturing, known as “TSMC”, which expands its operations in Arizona to six factories. Expectations have also confirmed that the company will produce the vast majority of “iPhone” phones for the US market in India in the future, in a move aimed at reducing production in China, amid the threats of Donald Trump’s administration to draw up criminal duties. The word “India” was mentioned on Thursday in the announcement of the quarterly results of the company with the same number of times as the word “China” was called, in an indication of its growing strategic importance. However, Cook has refrained from commenting on a series of questions related to the impact of potential customs duties on the electronic consumer devices on Apple’s works, saying that “predicts that it will happen after suspension of the fees is very difficult next June.” Kevin Bourab, director of finance, explained that Apple’s expectation during the call is based on the hypothesis of global customs duties and current policies as they are, and that the global macro economy will no longer see deterioration. Anxiety over Apple’s results, the upcoming quarterly results of Apple, based in Cuperno, Cooperno, failed to calm investors’ concerns about the most prominent challenges it faces, including the cost of customs duties and the slowdown in China. The shares of the company fell 4.2% in the evening trading, following the announcement of the second quarter results, showing that ‘Apple sales in the Chinese market came without expectations. Apple has accelerated the frequency of expanding its manufacturing operations in India, which is currently a emerging market, in collaboration with the decline in its sales in China, and it is probably a business partner elected by the United States in the long run. The company currently manufactures 20% of the “iPhone” phones, ie in every five, in India. It plans to be most of its import from ‘iPhone’ to the US market, which is coming from India by the end of next year. “We have a complicated supply chain, and there are always the risks associated with it. What we have long learned is that limiting everything to one place poses great risks, and for this we have worked over time to diversify the supply sources of some parts of the supply chain, not all, but only for certain parts of it.” In addition to India, Trump wants Apple to start producing its devices in the United States, but to reach it wide in the near future, this seems unlikely. Currently, Cook has pledged to strengthen the local purchases of the enterprise of electronic chips and other components. New Apple processors, Cook explained that the iPhone manufacturer will get ten millions of advanced processors from a new facility in Arizona run by ‘TSMC’, which starts manufacturers from a low -cost iPad and Apple Watch, according to ‘Bloomberg’. Apple and TSMC have announced hundreds of billions of dollars to investments in the United States, in line with the White House pushing the relocation of advanced industries in the country. The Trump administration imposed customs duties on goods imported from China and threatened to set up additional fees on other countries that did not reach new trade agreements in the coming weeks. It should be noted that some electronics, including iPhone phones, are still excluded from these drawings today. The CEO of Apple also affected how the company acquired the glass on the United States iPhone screens, probably referring to Corning. Earlier this year, Apple has its intention to invest $ 500 billion in the United States over the next four years, including the manufacture of artificial intelligence servers in a Texas factory.
