Apple's Strategic Manufacturing Shift
Apple is preparing to manufacture its iPhone Pro models in India shortly after the iPhone 16 Pro launch. According to Bloomberg, this will include the assembly of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models. The emphasis on local production aims to mitigate import duties.
The Role of Foxconn
These new iPhone Pro models will be assembled by Foxconn at their facility in Tamil Nadu, India, marking a significant step in Apple's manufacturing strategy. Over the past decade, Foxconn has been a critical partner for Apple.
Growing Production in India
- India currently accounts for a substantial portion of Apple's global iPhone production.
- Bloomberg previously indicated that one in seven iPhones is already manufactured in India.
- This initiative will help Apple achieve its goal of producing all iPhones sold in India locally by the end of 2024.
