Apple has shipped five planeloads of devices from India to the U.S. to avoid a 10% import duty and stabilize prices, as reported by The Times of India. This preventive measure provides Apple with an inventory buffer to navigate new tariffs effectively, though the impact of U.S. tariffs on its operations remains uncertain. With a diverse supply chain spanning China, India, and Vietnam, and potential future assembly in Mexico, Apple is strategically positioned to mitigate costs despite the challenges posed by varying import duties.
