Apple Reportedly Aims To Ramp Up Production Outside China Due To Covid RestrictionsApple is working to increase
production of its products outside China, according to the Wall Street Journal, in an attempt to
reduce reliance on the nation, where strict Covid restrictions have disrupted business.
Apple has informed some of its China-based assemblers of its ambitions, according to the Journal, citing sources with knowledge of discussions.
The company is reportedly
eyeing Vietnam or India as countries to ramp up production in, though political tensions between Beijing and New Delhi could make it difficult for Apple’s Chinese contract manufacturers to set up shop in India.
China has long been the hub for Apple production, with factories there churning out more than 90% of the company's major products, like iPhones, MacBooks and iPads.
