For the first time, Apple will offer new Indian-made iPhone models on the launch day. This means that the first buyers of the iPhone 15 will get the model made in India. It’s also a sign that Apple is taking significant steps to expand its supply chain infrastructure beyond China.iPhones have been manufactured in India for a while now
Although Apple has been producing iPhones in India for some time, production schedules there lag behind those of iPhone assembly plants that have long operated in China, such as Foxconn. It typically took at least six months for new iPhones to start entering the supply chain following their launch. Then, this difference gradually decreased, and this year, iPhone 15 models produced in India will go on sale on the first day. iPhone 15 production in India started at the beginning of August.
Apple wants to reduce its dependence on China in production
Meanwhile, it is known that Indian factories produce iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models. Apple still assembles the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models in China. 7% of the total number of iPhones produced worldwide are produced by Apple suppliers in India.
When will iPhone 15 be released?
Apple will launch the iPhone 15 series on September 22. iPhone 15 pre-orders will begin on September 15 in America.
