Tim Cook’s recent announcement about manufacturing in India indicates a strategic change of operation from China to India for the establishment of a diverse supply chain network.Also read Donald Trump warns Apple about ‘Make in India’, will Tim Cook’s iPhone listen to the manufacturer?Possible rehabilitation of Apple’s manufacturing functions from India to America or other Western countries will increase labor expenditure, leading to high production costs. Despite the advantages of working close to Western consumer bases, Apple will need to accept a low profit margin to maintain competition.In response to Trump’s statement, McCiya Director General, Prashant Girben told ANI: “The much better idea will be strong in both Apple company and US administration.” They will realize the following facts. First, if they decide to build in the United States compared to China, India or Vietnam, the cost of $ 1,000 iPhone will be $ 3,000. Are American consumers ready to pay $ 3,000 for that iPhone? ,“Manufacturing and jobs are not going from the United States to India, they are going from China to India to have a diverse supply chain, and American companies and consumers should be protected from the dominance of a country that is not most favorable with them in terms of business,” Girben said.Despite the current dispute around this statement, Girben said that the situation is expected to eventually normalize.Also read Donald Trump says that India has offered a business deal with ‘literally a tariff’According to NK Goyal, TEMA president, “till now, the world and India know that we have to wait for some time before reacting to the statements made by the US President.
