More than 90% of Apple products such as iPhones, iPads, and MacBook laptops are manufactured in China. 

Earlier in April, WSJ quoted Apple's Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook saying, "Our supply chain is truly global, so the products are made everywhere. We continue to look at optimizing."

The Journal reported that Apple considers India as a promising alternative to China to expand production, because of its low costs and large population.

According to Benzinga Pro data, Apple closed Friday's session up 0.17% at $137.59.
