where are iphones made

Most iPhones are assembled in large factories in China, with a growing share now made in India and some production in Vietnam, while parts come from many countries worldwide.

Main manufacturing locations

  • China is still the primary hub for iPhone assembly, led by massive Foxconn facilities in places like Zhengzhou that can produce hundreds of thousands of iPhones per day.
  • India now assembles a growing percentage of newer iPhone models at factories such as Foxconn’s plant in Sriperumbudur, as Apple shifts more production there.
  • Vietnam handles some Apple device assembly and related production, and is part of Apple’s broader strategy to diversify beyond China.

Global supply chain

  • iPhone components (chips, glass, batteries, cameras, and more) are sourced from companies across the USA, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, South Korea, China, and other countries.
  • These parts are shipped to major assembly partners like Foxconn and Pegatron, which operate factories in China, India, Vietnam, and other locations to build the final devices.

Why it’s spread across countries

  • Apple relies on regions with large, skilled manufacturing workforces and extensive electronics supply chains, which East and Southeast Asia provide.
  • In recent years, Apple has been gradually reducing dependence on a single country by expanding iPhone production to India and Vietnam, partly due to cost, risk management, and trade or tariff pressures.
