While the company manufactures the bulk of its products in China, it has decided to start producing its latest devices in India much earlier than with previous generations.
“The new iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking new technologies and important safety capabilities. We’re excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India,” the company said in a statement on Monday, confirming weeks of speculation.
Apple devices are manufactured in India by Taiwan’s Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron, but the company would typically start assembling models in the country only seven to eight months after launch, Tarun Pathak, a research director at Counterpoint, told CNN Business.
“Apple wants to diversity and not put all its eggs in one basket,” said Pathak, adding that the move is a “show of faith in India.”
