Apple rumored to release iOS 26 at WWDC, instead of iOS 19
Apple's crack marketing department is probably behind this. And when marketing decides on another numbering scheme, they will implement a new scheme.

India now leads iPhone exports to the U.S. as trade war reshapes supply chains
No doubt that's true. And the components on those subassemblies may also be made in China. But all my future iPhones that I buy will be assembled in a democracy, not a communist haven where genocide occurs.mikethemartian said:Most of the production work is in the subassemblies not the final assembly. -
It's still cheaper to import iPhones with 25% tariffs, than assemble in the US
Given a choice between two identical products (like iPhones, forks, or cashew nuts) where one says "Made in X," where X is a dictatorship, and the other says "Made in Y," where Y is a democracy, I would pay for the one made in Y, even if it's at a much higher price. I realize not many people care about human rights or the environment like I do. I haven't met a single person who shares my values and would buy the higher priced item.
