Apple is counting the days to introduce the iPhone 15 series. That’s why almost every day, there’s a new leak about this highly anticipated phones. For example, we recently told you that the iPhone 15 will come with a 3LD3 chip in its USB-C port and explained the limitations this chip would bring. Now, there’s good news from Apple’s top supplier, Foxconn. The company has started producing the iPhone 15 in India. Here are the details…
Apple’s iPhone 15 Could Be More Affordable Thanks to India Manufacturing
India is steadily becoming one of the world’s major tech hubs. We recently talked about the “Make in India” project and its impact on smartphone production in the country. Following this plan, many tech companies are manufacturing locally in the region. One such company is Foxconn, which produces iPhones for Apple. According to the latest information, Foxconn has started making the iPhone 15 in India.
Apple didn’t just start making the iPhone 15. The company began production in China in the middle of June. But as you know, the tech giant doesn’t want to rely only on China for production. Even though it might save costs, depending on just one place can cause big problems in the supply chain, like we saw during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Also Apple hopes that making the iPhone 15 in India will help to make it more affordable for consumers in the country. India is one of the world’s biggest smartphone markets. However, because of the country’s economic situation, many people choose cheaper and mid-range phones. If Apple can reduce costs by producing locally and avoid some taxes, they can offer better prices and reach more people, increasing their market share.
The Foxconn factory in Sriperumbudur is one of the biggest electronics manufacturing plants in the world, and it employs over thousands of people. The factory is equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and it is capable of producing a wide range of products, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
The new iPhone 15 series is expected to be announced on September 12th. It will have major upgrades to the camera system and the Pro models will have an improved processor. Apple is hoping that the new iPhone will help to revive flagging sales.
