Apple’s wireless earphones AirPods will be manufactured in India, CNBC TV18 quoted India’s IT ministry as saying on Monday. The iPhone 14 will be manufactured by December this year at the Foxconn’s facility in Chennai, the report added.
Less than 3 weeks after unveiling the latest iPhone series, the global tech giant announced that Apple’s latest iPhone 14 will be made in India.
Apple’s global partner Foxconn is manufacturing the iPhone 14 in the Sriperumbudur facility near Chennai and the units will begin to reach local customers in the next few days.
The locally manufactured iPhone 14 will be for both the Indian market and exports.
Apple had worked with suppliers to ramp up manufacturing in India and shorten the lag with China in production from the typical 6 to 9 months for previous launches, Bloomberg had reported in August.
“The new iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking new technologies and important safety capabilities. We’re excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India,” Apple’s statement noted.
