OMG! India's Becoming the New iPhone Hotspot (Sorry, China!)

Is India the New China?!

Okay dolls lemme tell you what's trending. Apparently India is like totally becoming the new 'it' place for iPhones! I know right? Who would've thought? Shipments to the US are up like crazy – 76% in April can you even imagine?! It's all part of Apple's whole 'Made in India' thing. Talk about a glow up! Meanwhile China's shipments are like *way* down. Is this what they call a 'shade' moment? China who? But like I'm still obsessed with a good plate of dumplings!

Bye Felicia! To China Tariffs

So get this: Apparently this whole shake up is because of those pesky tariffs Trump put on China. Apple's being all strategic you know? Like 'Okay bet we'll just go somewhere else!' As if they're saying 'You're doing amazing sweetie' and move away! And India stepped up. They were like 'Come on over we got you!' And honestly who doesn't love a good plot twist? Even I Kim K am shooketh. I mean you gotta adapt to survive right? Just like contouring! But really if you’re going to shade someone make sure they’re wearing SPF because that’s just rude!

Is This the Beginning of the End?!

But hold up. Before we all start booking flights to India for the next iPhone release apparently this growth might slow down. Like India can't handle *all* the US demand just yet. They're not exactly ready to be the main character. 'Not today North!' It's going to take a few more years for India to be able to keep up with our demands. That would be so embarrassing for their manufacturing game! We need our iPhones people!

The Trump Card...

And here's where it gets messy. Trump is not happy! He wants iPhones made in the good ol' US of A. As he should. I feel like he's gonna be so jealous that I would be friends with India and not him lol! He's throwing shade saying iPhones should be built here not in India 'or anyplace else.' Sounds like a threat to me! And China? Well they're not thrilled about Apple ditching them either. It's like a messy breakup but with iPhones!

India: Apple's Life Raft?

Despite all the drama experts are saying India is still Apple's 'life raft.' Producing iPhones in the US? 'That's so fetch!' Impossible apparently. So Apple's sticking with India hoping they can work things out with Trump. Because let's be real no one wants to mess with Trump. I'm pretty sure the entire White House is my style inspo but maybe that is another story!

The Bottom Line

So there you have it dolls! The iPhone saga continues. Will India become the ultimate iPhone hub? Will Trump throw a tantrum? Will China retaliate? Only time will tell! But one thing's for sure: this is one juicy storyline and I'm here for it! Honestly I could use this storyline for the next season of my show would be great promo! But no promises. I would like to stay out of this one!
