Apple is expanding its global manufacturing footprint by producing its flagship iPhone \u2018Pro\u2019 models in India for the first time, according to a report by MoneyControl via MacRumors.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Apple began iPhone production in India in 2017 with the original iPhone SE and has since increased its manufacturing operations in the country.
\n\u2013 The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were the first models manufactured and made available in India from their global release date.
\n\u2013 The upcoming production of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max in India signifies a new chapter in Apple\u2019s manufacturing journey, with Foxconn managing production at its Sriperumbudur facility in Tamil Nadu.
\n\u2013 The New Product Introduction (NPI) process will start soon, followed by mass production after the official launch of the devices.<\/p>\n
This move is part of Apple\u2019s strategy to reduce its reliance on China and leverage India\u2019s growing manufacturing capabilities. The company aims to produce a quarter of all iPhones in India over the next few years, a significant increase from the current 14%.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Apple\u2019s confidence in India as a manufacturing hub is reflected in its substantial investment, with plans to produce 90 million units of the iPhone 16 lineup in 2024 \u2013 a 10% increase from last year.
\n\u2013 In addition to iPhone 16 Pro models, Apple is exploring manufacturing other products in India. Reports suggest iPads could be produced there for the first time, with rumors hinting at AirPods manufacturing starting later this year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
