As Trade War Rages, Apple Plans To Shift Up To 30% Of Production Outside China

Since the trade war began last year, analysts have been closely parsing every production-related decision by Apple and its suppliers, seeing them as bellwethers of the global consumer-tech industry: Will the American tariffs permanently restructure the global supply chain? Increasingly it's looking that way.

It'll go to India, Africa, South Korea or Mexico. Places where labor is cheap.
