Apple’s latest phone iPhone 14 will be made in India as the global tech titan bets heavily on the manufacturing capacity of the world’s second largest smartphone market after China.
Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, began manufacturing iPhones in India with iPhone SE in 2017. Today, Apple manufactures some of its most advanced iPhones in the country, including iPhone SE, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and now iPhone 14.
Earlier this month, Apple Inc unveiled its latest iPhone series – the iPhone 14 models – featuring an improved camera, powerful sensors and satellite messaging function to send emergency SOS messages. The new lineup has four models: iPhone 14, Plus, Pro and ProMax.
According to sources, the Made-in-India iPhone 14 will start reaching local customers in the coming days. Phones manufactured in India are destined for both the Indian market and for export.
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.
When contacted, Apple said in a statement to PTI, “We are excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India.”
