Nikkei Asian Review reported on the 27th (local time) that Apple plans to increase production of major products such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac in India and Vietnam this year.
According to reports, iPad production in Vietnam is expected to begin mid-year as soon as possible. This is expected to be the first case of producing an iPad outside of China.
At the same time, Apple is increasing its iPhone production in India, and is expected to produce new iPhone 12 models in the first quarter.
In addition, Apple is increasing its production of smart speakers, earphones and computers in Southeast Asia. Vietnam’s Apple supplier plans to increase the production of HomePod minis, which are already being produced in Vietnam, and some of the Mac mini’s production is reportedly transferred to Malaysia. Apple started assembling parts of the AirPods Pro in Vietnam last year.

In November of last year, Apple asked Foxconn to relocate the iPad and MacBook assembly from China to Vietnam amid continued trade tensions between the US and China. It is known that it has obtained permission to build the building.
Due to rising labor costs and the trade conflict between the US and China, not only Apple but other IT companies are lowering their dependence on China, the IT media McRumers said. In addition, it was analyzed that the efforts to diversify these production bases seem to have triggered further efforts to diversify production bases as problems occurred with major suppliers in China due to the Corona 19 incident.
