Two separate reports reveal Apple’s strategic maneuver to adjust its manufacturing operations in response to heightened tariff challenges and trade tensions. One article highlights the company’s move to transfer 1.5 million India-made iPhones to the United States to avoid the impact of high import tariffs, while the other warns that such a production shift could elevate costs by as much as 90%, a change that has already affected the company’s stock performance. Both pieces underscore the operational and financial challenges Apple faces amid evolving trade policies.
