Most iPhones are assembled primarily in China, with the largest manufacturing facility located in Zhengzhou, often called "iPhone City," operated by Foxconn, which assembles over half a million iPhones daily
. China accounts for around 80% of Apple's iPhone production capacity
. However, Apple has been diversifying its production outside China in recent years. India has become a significant assembly location, with Apple aiming for about 25% of its global iPhone production there by 2025. Currently, India assembles roughly 10-15% of iPhones, including the entire iPhone 16 lineup
. Vietnam is also an emerging hub, especially for other Apple products like iPads, Apple Watches, and AirPods, but it is increasingly involved in iPhone production as well
. The iPhone's components come from various countries worldwide: displays are made in South Korea, chips by TSMC in Taiwan, memory from Japan, and glass from the USA or East Asia. These parts are shipped globally before final assembly in China, India, or Vietnam
. In summary, while the majority of iPhones are still made in China, significant production is now occurring in India and Vietnam, reflecting Apple's strategy to diversify manufacturing locations and reduce reliance on China, especially for devices sold in the US market
