The relationship between China and Apple seems to be getting strained by the day, and the company is gradually shifting its production to other countries, right? At least that’s what we’ve heard and believed multiple times until now. However, it appears that the relationship between the US tech giant and the Asian country is better than ever. In fact, not too long ago, we mentioned that CEO Tim Cook had met with China’s IT Minister. Now, according to the latest reports, China continues to produce over 95% of Apple’s products. Here are the details…
Apple CEO Cook: Over 95% of Apple products still manufactured in China
Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, is continuing his tour in China. As part of this tour, Cook recently paid a visit to the Foxconn plant in the region. During this visit, he highlighted that more than 95% of Apple’s products are still manufactured in China. As one of the world’s largest technology companies, Apple has a significant presence in various industries in China, including smartphones, computers, tablets, and smartwatches.
Actually, Apple has been trying to shift its production away from China for a while now. The company decided to make this move, particularly due to the challenges it faced during the pandemic. They have been considering India as a secondary operation center and aim to turn it into the ‘iPhone factory of the world.’ However, it seems that these plans are still in the early stages, and moving production away from China doesn’t appear to be possible in the near future. In an interview, Cook mentioned that Apple is looking for a “win-win” collaboration with its supply chain partners.
Earlier, Foxconn Chairman Wang Laichun also gave an interview. She revealed that Foxconn has produced three iPhone 15 models for Apple this year, and this business has doubled in the past year. She also revealed that the company is preparing for the production of Apple’s upcoming VR headset, Apple Vision Pro.
Apple hopes to continue to deepen its business in China and continue to cooperate with Chinese supply chain partners to achieve a win-win situation.
