Amid economic and policy uncertainty in China, a growing share of Apple’s manufacturing is shifting to India. Many suppliers in Apple’s Chinese supply chain have either stopped recruiting or are laying off workers, while Apple’s contract manufacturers in India are furiously hiring.
In Shanghai, Pegatron, the second-largest contract manufacturer of Apple in China (after Foxconn) and the main supplier of Apple’s iPhone Plus models, had stopped recruiting workers, according to a Nov. 15 report by IT Times, a Shanghai-based media.
