Apple is reportedly manufacturing all four iPhone 17 models in India

Apple is manufacturing all four of its iPhone 17 models in India ahead of next month's launch, according to Bloomberg. That marks a first for the company, as it tries to mitigate the effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs on products produced in China.

The production is taking place at five Indian factories. Tata Group is managing half of the manufacturing in new plants in the southern state Tamil Nadu and Taiwan's Foxconn will be manufacturing iPhones near the Bangalore airport.

India has become the No. 1 maker of smartphones shipped to the US, and its iPhone production there jumped 63% (to $7.5 billion in exports) in the second quarter of 2025 as Apple has maneuvered through the new landscape of US tariffs.Early this year, CEO Tim Cook said that Apple would be moving nearly all of its iPhone assembly to India to avoid tariff penalties. However, China will still be the top producer (by far) of iPhones to non-US markets.

Apple will launch its four iPhone 17 models sometime in September (check out all the rumored iPhone 17 features) in what may be the last iteration of the company's typical late-summer product launches. Apple reportedly will begin two-phase rollouts beginning in 2026.
