如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 来源:内容来自彭博,谢谢。 苹果公司计划今年从美国采购超过190亿美元的芯⽚,作为其全球供应链调整的⼀部分,逐步减少 对中国⼤陆的依赖,并提升印度在iPhone⽣产中的地位。 ⾸席执⾏官蒂姆·库克提到,苹果将更多依赖台积电,该公司正在亚利桑那州扩建⾄六座⼯⼚。他 还确认了苹果未来将把⼤部分⾯向美国市场的iPhone⽣产转向印度的预期⸺在唐纳德·特朗普 政府威胁对中国征收惩罚性关税的背景下,苹果将减少在中国⼤陆的产量。在周四的财报电话会议 上,"印度"被提及的次数⼏乎与"中国"相当,显⽰出印度地位的提升。 不过,库克对于潜在的消费电⼦关税将如何影响苹果业务的问题保持沉默,仅表⽰"6⽉之后的情 况很难预测"。⾸席财务官凯⽂·帕雷克表⽰,苹果在电话会议上的陈述是假设当前的全球关税政 策维持不变,且全球宏观经济形势不恶化。 这家总部位于加州库⽐蒂诺的公司备受关注的季度财报未能缓解投资者对其主要挑战的担忧,包括 不断上升的关税成本和在中国⼤陆的销售放缓。在苹果发布第⼆季度业绩、其中中国⼤陆销售低于 预期后,该公司股价在周四盘后交易中⼀度下跌4.2%。 苹果已加快在印度的制造扩张 ...
