Apple launched the iPhone 14 in September last year. It carried a starting price tag of Rs 79,990 in India. Apart from the brand’s store, it is already available at a discounted price across various online and offline retailers. Now, ahead of the Great Summer Sale that starts May 4th on Amazon, the smartphone’s deal price has been revealed. This makes it a good time to buy the iPhone 14. 

Apple iPhone 14 Sale Price Revealed

The iPhone 14 is currently listed at Rs 71,999 on Amazon which is down by Rs 7,901 from its launch price. During Amazon’s upcoming sale, the device will be available at a discounted price of Rs 66,999. This means that the smartphone will be cheaper by Rs 12,901 from its launch price and Rs 5,000 from the currently listed price. On top of that, there are also bank offers, exchange deals up to Rs 20,000, and Amazon Pay rewards worth Rs 5,000. 

For the above-mentioned price, users will get the base 128GB variant of the iPhone 14. The 256GB and 512GB configurations of the device are also likely to be discounted during the sale. However, Amazon is yet to reveal the deal prices on these variants. 

The iPhone 14 packs an incremental upgrade over the iPhone 13. It retains the 6.1-inch 60Hz OLED display and an A15 Bionic processor under the hood. The device has a 12MP rear camera with sensor-shift stabilization along with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The phone also packs Emergency SOS via Satellite feature that allows users of the device to send emergency message alerts in remote places where there is no cellular or WiFi coverage without any special hardware.

Apple has started manufacturing iPhone 14 in India and the company has also confirmed the same. The recently unveiled latest generation flagship is the first iPhone model to be produced in the country soon after its launch. The smartphone is been made at the Foxconn plant near Chennai. 

Till now, Apple has been manufacturing four iPhone models in India through its contract partners for several years now. However, the production cycles of the phones were delayed by a quarter or two after launching. Locally producing the new iPhone 14 will save Apple import duties and taxes but the brand won’t reduce the price of the smartphone in the country as it has not happened with the older models either. Foxconn is a pioneer when it comes to manufacturing electronics globally. 

The iPhone 14 produced in India will be sold in the country and globally with a ‘Made in India’ tag. However, the device manufactured in India will take a few weeks to reach the hands of customers. 

In a statement, Apple said “We’re excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India, the new iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking new technologies and important safety capabilities.”

Previously, a report by JP Morgan stated that Apple is expected to relocate 5 percent of iPhone 14 manufacturing to India by the end of 2022 and 25 percent of production of all iPhones in the country by 2025.

There’s a lot of news surrounding the iPhone 14 series lately as we get closer to the launch event that Apple traditionally conducts in the first or second week of September. Leaks and rumours about the next-generation flagship iPhone 14 have left nothing to the imagination. As per past reports, Apple’s upcoming event is tipped to take place on September 7th. 

In the latest development, Bloomberg reports that Apple could manufacture the upcoming iPhone 14 series in India much sooner this year. According to the people familiar with the matter, the Cupertino-based tech giant will ramp up the production of the iPhone 14 models with Foxconn at its assembly plant near Chennai. However, the company’s manufacturing partner will not be able to start immediate production in the country along with China as it would lead to supply-chain challenges. Thus, the iPhone 14 manufacturing will begin in India two months after the initial production starts in China and is released. This also means that the first batch of iPhone 14 Made in India will likely be ready around the end of October or early November. The company could reportedly aim for the Diwali festival starting October 24th. 

Bloomberg reports that Apple wants to diversify its production from China due to successive lockdown in the country and problems with the US government. Apple and Foxconn are also working on cutting down the manufacturing lead times from nine to six months. 

Apple started producing its iPhones in India in 2017. However, the production cycle of the phones were delayed by a quarter or two after launching. The iPhone 14 could mark the first time the latest flagship could be manufactured sooner in the country.
