Apple Plans To Make iPhone 14 In India On China Troubles: Report

Apple Inc plans to start manufacturing iPhone 14 in India as the US tech giant seeks alternatives to China after Xi administration’s clashes with Washington and lockdowns across the country disrupted production, Bloomberg News reported.

The company has been working with suppliers to ramp up production in India and shorten the lag in manufacturing new iPhones from the typical six to nine months for previous launches, the report said on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

According to the report, Apple’s Taiwan-based supplier Foxconn has studied the process of shipping items from China and assembling the iPhone 14 at its plant outside Chennai.

Production of the first iPhone 14s from India is likely to be completed in late-October or November, the report added.

Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
