SAO Paulo Media claims that in the messages of iPhone Foxconn expands in Brazil, even if Apple said that she would not increase production and does not try to break us Tarelf.
Over the years, Apple worked on a decrease in its excessive dependence on China as a single or main iPhone source, and these steps saw that its suppliers create objects in several other countries. According to Apple, however, its production in Brazil is specially intended for the iPhone to be sold at the local level and will continue at the end of April 2025.
Apple responded to the report in the local publication EXEME, which claimed that Foxconn expands its objects so that it could make the iPhone for export in the United States. The report was unclear in details, but said that the expansion was at the Foxconn factory in Jundia, the southeast Brazil.
Last development
now Exame mainly repeats its original story, if you reinvent it as publication, “waiting for” the step. Foxconn. It represents the story now, as if it are confirmed, although it is still unclear, and there is no cited basis for the claim.
The specific statement is that Foxconn expands production to export the iPhone in the United States, because Brazil is faced with a lower “mutual” tariff than China. This is also a specific statement that Apple had previously denied.
Currently, Foxconn makes iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 in Brazil. Anatel, the equivalent of the FCC country, recently provided permission from the Foxconn Brazilian plants to make iPhone 16.
However, in each of these cases, the regulator’s resolution is covered only by the basic iPhone models. Currently, current iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are not produced in Brazil and should be imported into the country for sale.
Apple said that it changes its supply and distribution chains, so, for example, more Chinese iPhone will be sold outside the United States. And at the same time, the iPhone, imported into the States, will come from countries with lower tariffs than in China.
it is possible that Brazilian production can expand, but Apple spoke only about making these changes with India and Vietnam.
Planning began in 2024
these changes in the “mutual” tariffs of Trump, which was supposed to return to White. Nevertheless, EXEME also insists that FOXCONN began to plan its expansion at some kind of indefinite point in 2024. According to reports, he will also see some revision of the local industrial processes Foxconn, although there is no information about the actual addition of new facilities or production lines.
Foxconn receives an indefinite amount of local tax benefits for existing production in the region. This will probably continue regardless of how much Foxconn expands there, so along with lower tariffs, production costs can really be much more attractive to Apple than in China.
, is Apple or not expanding the IPhone production in Brazil through Foxconn, it is still encountering legal and regulatory pressure from the country. In March 2025, the judge in Brazil gave Apple for 90 days to turn on third -party applications stores or face large fines daily.
This decision was almost immediately canceled during the appeal.
