A new leak suggests that the material that is used in the next Pro iPhones will be a significant departure from recent years.

Apple is shifting more iPhone production to India ahead of next month’s iPhone 17 launch, Bloomberg reports. The company will build all four iPhone 17 models there, and for the first time US-bound shipments for the entire lineup will come from India at launch.

Apple is manufacturing all four of its iPhone 17 models in India ahead of next month's launch, according to Bloomberg. That marks a first for the company, as it tries to mitigate the effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs on products produced in China.

The iPhone 17 is reportedly rumored to be announced in September, meaning Californians may be just weeks away from their next upgrade. Last year, Apple introduced its iPhone 16 range on Sept. 9, with the new phones ready for pre-order later that week. In September of 2023, Apple unveiled its iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Apple will manufacture all the iPhone 17 units from India even after high tariffs from the US. It shows that Apple chooses business continuity over political nuisance.

Apple built a global retail empire to sell iPhone, but most Americans still buy their devices from mobile carriers.

New recruits who stay at the factory for three months qualify for a bonus of up to US$1,113, a significant hike from early July.

That's a big problem for Apple, because it means fewer iPhone sales and the risk of losing market share to rivals, including Samsung. According to data from Telemetry, the most commonly owned iPhone is the iPhone 13, representing 16.3% of all iPhones in use.
