Yes! With the acquisition of Apple’s Indian supplier facility by Tata Group, iPhone assembly will finally take place in a country of origin. The facility, which is worth over $600 million, employs over 10,000 people and presently assembles the iPhone 14 model.

The report indicates that a possible purchase of the factory by August is expected. And after the transaction is finalised, this company would be the first to produce iPhones in India.

By the conclusion of the current fiscal year, Wistron Corp. promises to sell iPhones valued at $1.8 billion. Additionally, an Indian iPhone is likely to give Apple’s initiatives to expand technology manufacturing in South Asia and diversify its product base beyond China more momentum.

The launch of an Indian iPhone is anticipated to give Apple’s initiatives to expand technology manufacturing in South Asia and diversify its product base beyond China more momentum. In the three months that ended on June 30, Wistron exported about $500 million worth of iPhones from India, while Foxconn Technology Group and Pegatron Corp., two of Apple’s major Taiwanese suppliers, have also increased production locally.

It is to be noted here that Wistron entered the Indian market in 2008 with a repair facility for various devices. But in 2017, the company expanded its operations and started manufacturing iPhones for Apple.
