Let's be real, the beneficiaries of re-shoring manufacturing were always going to be the countries that used to do it before China became the cheaper option.

Namely: Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Japan.

I don't think that's right, apple moving some iPhone and other production to India is a big deal. But it's not going to be easy because of all the production lines and parts that are made by other companies in China and the built up expertise.

No country is going to benefit from just one company moving their production there. Focusing on just Apple is blowing things out of proportion.

A lot of India's electronics manufacturing at the moment is still limited to recycling (e.g, Sony Trinitron CRTs)

Manufacturing top end finished goods (like the phone) will lead to more local sourcing of components eventually.

No idea why you're downvoted because it's a good remark.

Probably because I said that Taiwan is a country.
