Apple has capacity to make all iPhones for US outside of China
Live MintApple Inc. has a backup plan if the U.S.-China trade war gets out of hand. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company’s primary manufacturing partner has enough capacity to make all iPhones bound for the U.S. market outside of China if necessary, according to a senior executive at Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. As the U.S.-China trade war is getting more grim and unpredictable, Hon Hai will fully support Apple if it needs to adjust its production, he said. "Twenty-five percent of our production capacity is outside of China and we can help Apple respond to its needs in the U.S. market," said Liu, adding that investments are now being made in India for Apple. Apple has not given Hon Hai instructions to move production out of China, but it is capable of moving lines elsewhere according to customers’ need, Liu said.
