Report: Tech Giant Apple Flies in Five Planeloads of iPhones from China and India to Dodge Trump’s America-First Tariffs

Apple has reportedly orchestrated the rapid shipment of five plane-loads of iPhones and other products from its manufacturing hubs in India and China to the United States within a mere three days.

This maneuver aimed to circumvent the newly imposed 10% reciprocal tariff, effective April 5, 2025, allowing Apple to temporarily maintain its current pricing structure, The Times of India reported.

According to reports, Apple orchestrated a last-minute airlift of iPhones ahead of looming tariffs, ensuring they reached U.S. soil before the deadline.

Instead of supporting American manufacturing, Apple chose to exploit global labor markets — particularly in China, a known adversary that benefits from cheap labor and lax regulations.

President Trump’s tariffs were designed to bring jobs back to the U.S. and reduce dependence on foreign supply chains, especially from Communist China.

Yet Apple, a company that enjoys massive profits from American consumers, went out of its way to undermine these efforts.

The Times of India reported:

Apple transported five planes full of iPhones and other products from India to the US in just three days during the final week of March, a senior Indian officials confirmed to The Times of India.

The urgent shipments were made to avoid a new 10% reciprocal tariff imposed by US President Donald Trump’s administration that took effect on April 5. Sources said that Apple currently has no plans to increase retail prices in India or other markets despite the tariffs.

To mitigate the impact, the company rapidly moved inventory from manufacturing centres in India and China to the US, even though this period is typically a slow shipping season.

“Factories in India and China and other key locations had been shipping products to the US in anticipation of the higher tariffs according to one source.

“The reserves that arrived at lower duty will temporarily insulate the company from the higher prices that it will need to pay for new shipments under the revised tax rates,” the source explained. Apple’s US warehouses are reportedly stocked for several months ahead.

At Tuesday’s press briefing, when pressed on whether iPhone manufacturing could relocate to the U.S., Karoline Leavitt responded:

Reporter:
“iPhone, specifically—is that something Apple thinks can move to the U.S.?”

Leavitt:
“Absolutely. He believes we have the labor, we have the workforce, we have the resources to do it. As you know, Apple has invested $500 billion here in the United States. If Apple didn’t think the United States could do it, they probably wouldn’t have put up that big chunk of change.”

Q: Iphones specifically, is that technology to move to the U.S.?

Leavitt: Absolutely. Apple has invested $500B here in the United States so if Apple didn’t think the United States could do it, they would not put up that big chunk of change. pic.twitter.com/WSpUYyhUvF
