How Apple Flew 5 Flights Full Of iPhones Out Of India & China To Beat Trump's Tariff Deadline​

Imagine 5 plane loads of iPhones being hurriedly taken from warehouses in India and China... trying to reach the U.S. in time!

That's exactly what happened last week as Apple tried to beat Trump's tariff deadlines and ensure there's enough iPhones for the US market for the next few months.

As per ToI who quoted Indian government officials, the urgent shipments were made within a span of 3 days so that Trump's 10% reciprocal tariffs that took effect on 5th April could be avoided.

I think there's a new ruling that exempts products that include 20% of US components or IP. iPhones escape the tariff

Is this how Apple smuggled the iPhones out of India?
