All components and electronics of the iPhone will still be manufactured in China, only the assembly stage for US bound phones will be moved to India, which should be an easy process

On the price/tariff side of things Apple expects assembly will cost around 5%-10% more compared to china, so iPhone for USA prices will rise. All of this may not actually let iPhones avoid tariffs, as most of the parts inside will still be manufactured in China.

China has warned against companies and countries avoiding China due to Trump's tariffs, but how the CPC will respond, if it all, is unknown
