A lot of Apple products are made in China but the company is now expanding its horizons. This could be because of the coronavirus pandemic but we believe that the main reason behind it is the ongoing trade war between the US and China that made tariffs on some Apple products necessary, putting immense pressure on CEO Tim Cook. In 2017, Apple also started its manufacturing in India.

However, on Tuesday The Information stated that the company is definitely going to use factories in Vietnam to come up with a new pair of headphones but Apple has not commented on the subject yet.
