Apple is planning to significantly automate its iPhone assembly lines, aiming to reduce the number of workers by as much as 50% over the next few years. This initiative is intended to reduce risks and could transform the way iPhones are manufactured, particularly in India. The move may also weaken Apple's relationship with China, where much of its current production is based. The company has been acquiring startups like DarwinAI to support this automation drive.
