Ahead of September launch, Foxconn starts production of Apple iPhone 15 in India
By MYBRANDBOOK
In an effort to narrow the gap between its India operations and main manufacturing base in China, Apple Inc.’s next-generation iPhone 15 is beginning its production in Tamil Nadu. A Foxconn Technology Group plant in Sriperumbudur is preparing to deliver the newest devices only weeks after they start shipping from factories in China.
The company seeks to swiftly increase the volume of new iPhones coming from India, according to sources.
As tensions between Washington and Beijing make trade less predictable, the Cupertino, California-based firm is on a multiyear project to diversify its manufacturing away from China. India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has sought to build closer ties to the US and make itself a manufacturing hub.
Before the iPhone 14, Apple had only a sliver of its iPhone assembly in India. It comparatively lagged China output by six to nine months. That delay was drastically reduced last year, with Apple producing 7% of its iPhones in India at the end of March.
The goal this year is to move closer to parity on shipment timing from India and China, though suppliers are not yet certain whether they will achieve it.
The scale of India production for the iPhone 15 will depend on the ready availability of components, which are largely imported, and the smooth ramp-up of production lines at the Foxconn factory outside Chennai.
Other Apple suppliers in India, Pegatron Corp. and a Wistron Corp. factory that is being acquired by the Tata Group, will also soon start assembling the iPhone 15.
