That is around 70c USD per hour! And people say that China's laborers are paid slave wage.

China's labour-wages increase. That's why they found their new China in India.
Apple assembles (some) phones in India in part to reduce tax/tarrif costs more than to reduce labor costs. Not all of the produced phones will be sold in India, but a lot of them will, and I think the exported ones will still count toward quotas for reduced tarrifs.
Vietnam will be far more probable. Thanks RCEP!
Apple is starting to build new factories here in Vietnam recently, yeah.

Samsung already does make their phones here.
