Based on a recent report, Apple has started the trial
production run of the 3-months new iPhone 13 in India. This will add on the
iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 that are also manufactured locally. With the addition
of the iPhone 13 to its Indian manufacturing plans, Apple now makes 70 percent
of its iPhone smartphones locally.
It is said that Apple's contract manufacturer Foxconn has
begun manufacturing the iPhone 13 at its Tamil Nadu plant near Chennai. This
same plant also manufactures the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11. However, this is just
a trial run and the full-on commercial production will begin from February
2022, suggest the industry insiders.
Despite the ongoing chip shortage across the globe, it is
said that Apple has managed to secure all the chip it needs to kickstart the local
manufacturing of the iPhone 13. However, not all models of the iPhone 13 series
will get the Made in India tag.
It is the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini that will be made in
India. The more capable and expensive iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will
still be imported from outside. For Apple, that makes sense given that the
iPhone 13 is the top-selling model in the iPhone 13 series.
On the other hand, Apple still continues to manufacture the
iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 in India, as these models contribute the most to
Apple's sales figures on the subcontinent. The recent festive sale events have
seen massive discounts on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11, both of which have sold
in huge numbers.
The iPhone SE is also manufactured by Wistron in the
Bengaluru plant. Note that the iPhone SE is the cheapest iPhone model that
Apple currently sells in India. Going into 2022, it is believed that Apple
will update the iPhone SE for the year by giving it a 5G chip from the iPhone
13. In 2023, Apple is expected to launch a completely new iPhone SE that is
likely to be based on the iPhone XR.
