Apple may manufacture iPhone chips in India: Report

Business Dec 17, 2025

Apple is in preliminary talks with CG Semi at their Gujarat facility about making iPhone chips in India for the first time.
The likely focus is on display chips, and this move could help Apple rely less on overseas suppliers.

What's happening at CG Semi?

CG Semi's new plant—built with Renesas and Stars Microelectronics—will be ready for action in 2026.
It's set up to handle everything from assembly to testing, with the capacity to roll out half a million units every day.

Why does this matter?

Right now, most iPhone display chips come from South Korea, Taiwan, or China.
If Apple goes local with CG Semi, it could boost Indian tech manufacturing and make the supply chain stronger for future devices.
