By Munsif Vengattil BENGALURU (Reuters) -President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on Indian goods will do little to slow the role of the Asian country as a key hub for manufacturing iPhones, even when it means more expensive smartphones for U.

Analysts suggest that the US's 25% tariffs on Indian goods will not significantly disrupt Apple's iPhone manufacturing in India. The move appears strategic, as Apple continues to reduce reliance on Chinese factories while benefiting from lower costs and government incentives in India.

The surprise move puts Apple’s rapidly expanding manufacturing and export plans in India under pressure, just as shipments to the US were scaling up, and could force the tech giant to hike iPhone prices in its upcoming fall launch to offset rising costs.
