As the public date of the iPhone 14 series approaches, Apple has started production. The company is preparing to produce iPhone 14 simultaneously in India and China.
According to Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo, at least one model of the new iPhone 14 series will produce in India.
If this is true, it will be the first time that the production of the new generation of iPhone will start simultaneously in another country along with China.
As Kuo mentioned, it normally takes a few months for a new iPhone to start production outside of China. For example, Foxconn started assembling the iPhone 13 in India in April this year, while production in Brazil started a few weeks later.
In other countries, iPhone production is aimed at serving local markets rather than meeting global demand. According to him, by increasing iPhone production in India and possibly Brazil, Apple will gradually be able to reduce its dependence on China.
Currently, the company is testing other countries as an alternative to China for manufacturing its products.
