Production Of Apple Phones In India- Is It Good News For India?
An article released in the Indian Express on August 17, 2023, mentions Foxconn- Apple’s hardware manufacturing partner. It has started manufacturing the iPhone 15 in Tamil Nadu. It is technically not the first iPhone that was manufactured here. The iPhone SE and iPhone 14 series were also manufactured in India.
As part of its move to reduce reliance on China, Apple has slowly moved its production to India. Now, at least 7 per cent of the production of the iPhone comes from India. If Apple decides to shift and start production in India, this will lead to a rise in several job opportunities and economic growth for the country.
