Apple assembles (some) phones in India in part to reduce tax/tarrif costs more than to reduce labor costs. Not all of the produced phones will be sold in India, but a lot of them will, and I think the exported ones will still count toward quotas for reduced tarrifs.

Apple is starting to build new factories here in Vietnam recently, yeah.

Samsung already does make their phones here.
