Amid ongoing U.S. tariff threats, smartphone makers are rapidly increasing shipments and relocating production to avoid extra costs. A Counterpoint study shows March shipments rose 30% YoY, with U.S. inventories up 51%. Apple is stockpiling ahead of potential tariffs and may shift iPhone 17 production to India. Samsung is less affected due to limited reliance on China, but could still face tariffs from Vietnam, though trade talks offer hope.
