      India seems to have build up its smartphone manufacturing base very fast

      >In 2014–15, only 26 percent of the mobile phones sold in India were produced domestically; the remaining ones were imported. Currently, 99.2% of all mobile phones sold in India are manufactured in the country. From ₹18,900 crore in FY14 to an astounding ₹4,22,000 crore in FY24, the manufacturing value of mobile phones has increased dramatically.

      still a long time until they dethrone China, and Indian brands are still in infancy

      I knew the transition was occurring yet I didn’t know it was happening this quickly. Now I know that this story from a month ago was actually a bigger deal than reported: *Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, has reportedly recalled hundreds of Chinese employees from its Indian iPhone manufacturing plants. This action, which began a couple of months ago, involves over 300 Chinese workers being sent back to China, leaving primarily Taiwanese support staff in India.*

      For all the nonsense the Trump administration & Peter Navarro cause; this is ultimately very good. Apple played a large part in China’s rise, and now it’s time for India to become its counterweight over the next few decades. 59% decrease relative to the original share in 6 months. My Lord.

      In 2025, Apple has hired new CFOs and COOs both of Indian descent, one being born in India.
