(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
Apple has started assembling the iPhone 14 in India, according to multiple reports. This marks the first time Apple has shifted production from China to India this quickly after the launch of a new iPhone.
As noted by TechCrunch, Apple's using Foxconn's facilities in Sriperumbudur, India, to produce the device. While Apple has produced its flagship iPhones in India in the past, it's typically done so well after the phone's initial launch.
The company only just started making the iPhone 13 in India in April, and it's done the same with other models of the iPhone, including the iPhone 12 and 11.
We first heard that Apple planned on closing the gap between the time it takes to switch production from China to India back in August, with Apple initially hoping to finish making the first iPhones in India in late October
. A source familiar with the situation told Bloomberg that Apple and Foxconn managed to smooth over supply chain issues, allowing Apple to move production to India faster.
“We're excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement to TechCrunch. Apple didn't immediately respond to The Verge's request for comment.
When contacted, Apple in a statement to PTI said:“We're excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India.”
The new iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking new technologies and important safety capabilities,” it said.
The iPhone 14 was launched on September 7, 2022, and is available to customers in India simultaneously with the US, among other markets, since September 16, 2022.
