Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is reportedly considering a shift of iPhone assembly to India. However, a renowned analyst has expressed skepticism about the potential effectiveness of this move in mitigating the impact of China tariffs.

The manufacturing move aims to address massive US tariffs against China that could spur higher prices on the company's biggest-selling product.

Apple iPhone production could rise to 70-80 million units, potentially making India the primary supplier of iPhones to the United States.
