Apple’s growing manufacturing presence in India has sparked speculation about a shift from China, but experts argue the story is more complex. Despite India assembling and exporting millions of iPhones, Apple’s reliance on China’s vast supply chain, trained workforce, and government-controlled ecosystem runs deep. China benefits enormously from gaining technology, industrial growth, and millions of skilled workers. While India offers opportunity, scaling to rival China could take decades. Apple may appear to diversify, but in reality, China still holds the upper hand, shaping Apple’s future more than India does.
