Apple, the biggest name in the smartphone world, broke records again with the iPhone 14 series. However, the company is running into many problems in China, which covers a large part of its production line. The company, which has previously stated that it is uncomfortable with this situation, has started initiatives to turn its direction to other countries.
India will have half of iPhone production share
Most of the Apple production line, which is the most important name in the smartphone world with its iPhone series, is located in China. Especially the production of Pro models takes place here. It was known that the company wanted to exit China in the long run. Details are revealed.
The Foxconn factory in China is cited as the heart of Apple when it comes to iPhone production. However, production has stopped many times due to the “zero tolerance for coronavirus” policy implemented in China. Wanting to reduce this dependency, Apple plans to move 40-45 percent of its production line to India in the long run.
Especially the events that took place in China in the last few days would have carried the patience of the Apple company. Wanting to close the gap, the factory asked workers to stay on the production line before the holiday season. However, employees reacted to this mandatory situation. Foxconn faced protests when the company did not take a step back in the face of the backlash.
The factory wants workers to work intensively during the holiday period. So much so that in this case, employees have to work day and night in the factory without going home. As such, Apple production is interrupted. On the other hand, the image for Apple is deteriorating.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, known for Apple news, shared new details about the company’s non-Chinese production. Accordingly, Apple will completely turn its direction to Thailand and India in 3 to 5 years for main production. In addition, the company is expected to further increase the production percentages of Tata Group in India and its contract manufacturers Pegatron or Wistron in the process.
