They're just doing the whole made in Vietnam thing again where they produce the thing in China and just assemble the final bits in India.

I don't know why people cannot see this really. Even Trump knows its bs which is why he sanctioned Vietnam in the first place.

But I guess jai hinds are really desperate for any victory even if its in appearance only.

Even this Anti-CN guy knows its BS.

But to be fair, I think China itself probably wants to get out of Apple itself since it will be directly competing against it. Apple's time in the sun might be coming to an end soon with all the new ventures failing.

I will say this, do you know who is looking dumber than Jai Hinds these days? MAGAtards.

Ok so Trump lied to us again and manufacturing is not coming back to US but instead going to India which has already taken so many of our jobs. TRUMP DOES IT AGAIN WITH ART OF THE DEAL! TAKE THAT WUMAOS! I BET WINNIE DA POOH IS SEETHING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!

China-born scientist Jian-Ping Wang forged a rare-earth-free magnet. Will it help the West?
The race is on to commercialise technology that could overcome China’s dominance of the supply of critical minerals

While working in his lab at the University of Minnesota more than a decade ago, materials scientist Jian-Ping Wang achieved a world first. Born and educated in China, Wang spent decades studying magnetism, first earning his PhD at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, then pioneering research in Singapore before joining academia in the United States. His quest was to create a powerful magnet without rare earth elements. The result was the world’s first iron nitride magnet, a revolutionary technology forged from iron and nitrogen.

While Niron’s magnets excel under 200 degrees Celsius (392 Fahrenheit), high-temperature applications still rely on China-controlled alloys. Even with its first Minnesota factory breaking ground this year, scaling production to match soaring global demand – projected to triple by 2035 – will test limits.

Wang, who founded Niron Magnetics in 2014 based on his research, was one of them.

The company has received funding from South Korean tech giant Samsung, carmakers including Volvo, General Motors from the US and Stellantis headquartered in the Netherlands, and the US Department of Energy and Department of Defence. CEO Rowntree said strong US government support had helped Niron grow and secure funding from the private sector.

“The Department of Energy has sponsored several grants for us, not only for the genesis of Niron and initial research, but also a scale grant that helped us scale the technology,” he said. “We have had a number of Department of Defence grants as well, looking at continuing to develop our technology for supply chain stability and for the reliability of the supply of magnets into or for defence-type applications.”

While its focus now was on Western firms that hoped to mitigate geopolitical risks, Rowntree said the company would sell to China in the future, given that its customers ran production facilities there.

(Does he plan to return or stay in US? If he plans to return, will US allow it?)

So Trump wants China to open up its economy to the US in exchange. Like the US is open to China? Still believing all those Made in China products sold in the US are actually Chinese products and not something US companies outsourced? Frankly China should demand all tariffs going back to Obama be removed if Trump wants a meeting.

This is interesting news. It seems like China is now capable of attracting top talents from overseas, starting with East Asia. This used to be one of America's greatest strengths. Much of the great scientific achievements of America was built on the back of foreign geniuses. The American nuclear program was one such example.

Today China is capable of attracting overseas talents while America is happy to deport theirs. Instead, America is more interested in bringing in rich people, and very talkative people. I enjoy watching this very much.

So what's going to happen here?

The most important point in the statement that Apple is going to shift "all US-sold iPhones" to India. This is basically Apple doing trans-shipment to the US. India would also get enjoy their locally-assembled iPhones, and exclude itself from Chinese made iPhones. While for the rest of the world, they could still enjoy Made in China iPhones.

Its a win-win deal in my book.

They're still assuming Beijing will let them ship phones, parts or equipment to/through India.
This kind of assumption has been proven wrong with pretty high frequency recently.
