    honestly why (apart from global politics) are they trying to move from China?

    …put 2 iphones on a shelf…one from CN and one from INDIA and I know which one I would pick. CN is so optimised for building these devices (inc supply chain proximity), I don’t want a phone from a struggling factory.

      The assumption is that Apple would not sell any iPhone that does not meet quality standards. So any iPhone they put on the shelf should be equivalent in quality. The problem here seems to be efficiency, yield, speed, etc.
