Apple used a cargo aircraft to transport 600 tons, or about 1.5 million iPhones, from India to the United States. It was reported by Reuters with reference to sources. It should be noted that to optimize the supply, Apple has mobilized the reduction of customs time at the Chennai airport in Tamilnad India from 30 to 6 hours. Therefore, the company has organized a green corridor used by Apple at some Chinese airports. Tariffs for imports from China reached a record of 125%, exceeding the temporary tax rate of 26% for goods from India. According to experts, high duties can lead to an increase in iPhone price in the United States, where Apple sells more than 220 million devices each year. In this regard, the iPhone's cost can increase to $ 3500. Currently, India provides about 20% of iPhone imports in the United States, while most supply continues from China. Organizing charter flights from India emphasized the importance of the local production center in Apple's supply chain, as well as the company's wishes to adapt to the new economic reality.
