Apple has already started manufacturing the iPhone 14 in India: the company confirmed this to colleagues from TechCrunch in the past few hours. It is an excellent signal for the Apple supply chain in the country, calculating that in the years to come it will be increasingly crucial for the world supply of Melafonini – it is expected that by the end of 2025 one out of 4 iPhones on the market will be “Made in India”.
It is the first time that the Indian factories of Apple (or rather Foxconn, who work for Apple) produce an iPhone of the main range (thus excluding the SE) in the same calendar year of its launch. This continuous approach of the roadmap to that of the Chinese and Taiwanese plants it is a clear sign of growth in the maturity of the initiative in India.
There aren’t many details from Apple – it’s not even clear whether the company is referring to the single device or the entire family, which also includes the 14 Plus (not yet released), 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, but considering the indiscretions from the supply chain more plausible the first hypothesis. The 14 Plus could soon be added, but not the two Pros, due to the more sophisticated camera module.
Recently released estimates indicated that Indian production of the iPhone 14 would start by the end of the year. The designated facility is located in the city of Sriperumbudur in the Chennai District. The devices assembled there will be destined for the Indian market itself. Apple has been manufacturing in the country for several years by now (2017, to be precise), but so far it has been limited to the cheaper SE and previous generation models.
