After the pandemic crisis, Apple also intends to reduce its dependence on China by diversifying its production points. Moving in line with this goal, the company is putting the iPhone 14 model, which it introduced in the past weeks, into production in a new country.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus go into production in India
Apple has been producing smartphones locally in India since 2017. But until this year, the iPhone maker had used facilities in India for the production of older generation phones. As of this year, the company started to produce its new generation models in India. According to the statement, iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models started to be produced in the country.

The company’s global partner, Foxconn, manufactures the device at its Sriperumbudur facility near Chennai. Locally produced iPhone models will be available in the country later this year. Apple plans to increase production in India in the future.
India is expected to become a global iPhone manufacturing center in the future. While 5 percent of the total iPhone production is planned to be made in this country this year, this rate is expected to increase to 25 percent by 2025.
With its recent breakthroughs, India enabled Apple’s production partners Foxconn and Wistron to invest in the country. The country has become a very profitable region for manufacturers with its abundant labor resources and competitive labor cost.
With its recent investments, the South Asian country has also attracted brands such as Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus and Vivo to produce in addition to Apple. While Samsung is establishing one of the largest facilities it has in this region, it is among the news that Google will establish a factory in India for the production of Pixel smartphones.
It seems that in the future, India will be China’s biggest competitor in technology production. So what do you think about the production of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus in India? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
