03:08 PM EDT, 04/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Apple ( AAPL ) is considering to outsource more iPhone manufacturing to India to avoid the high overheads from China tariffs, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing sources.

The adjustments are a temporary fix since Apple ( AAPL ) views the situation as too bleak to uproot long-term investments in its supply chain, the sources told the news outlet.

WSJ said that the minimum 54% tariff on Chinese goods could add almost $300 to the current $550 hardware cost for an iPhone 16 manufactured in Mainland China, citing TechInsights data.

Apple ( AAPL ) didn't immediately respond to a comment request from MT Newswires.

Apple ( AAPL ) shares were down 4.5% in recent trading.
