As US-based tech giant Apple moves some of its production from China, it has confimed that it will manufacture its latest iPhone 14 in India.
According to reports, the Made-in-India iPhone 14 will begin to reach local customers in the next few days. Phones manufactured in India will be both for the Indian market and exports.
The iPhone 14 will be shipped from Foxconn's Sriperumbudur facility on the outskirts of Chennai. Foxconn is the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer and major iPhone assembler.
Earlier this month, Apple unveiled its latest iPhone series -- the iPhone 14 models - with an improved camera, powerful sensors and satellite messaging feature to send SOS texts in emergencies. The new lineup has four models: iPhone 14, Plus, Pro and ProMax.
In keeping with this goal, Apple has expanded its manufacturing plans in India including setting up App Design and Development Accelerator in Bengaluru and other programmes with local organisations to support renewable energy and training.
India's vibrant market is turning out to be the sweetspot for the US tech giant, as the company reported a "near doubling" of revenue in the country in the quarter ended June 2022.
