Apple is planning to manufacture iPhone 16 Pro models in India, which will be available from the first day of the after the launch. This move marks a significant expansion for Apple in India, as earlier only standard models were manufactured in the country. Apple’s this decision can be a major step towards further strengthening its presence in India.
Foxconn, a key partner of Apple, will be begining the new product introduction (NPI) process in its plant at Tamil Nadu, leading to the manufacturing of these high-end ‘Pro’ models. This strategy will not only ensure the early availability of iPhone 16 Pro models in the Indian market, also signals that Apple is committed to strengthening its production and supply chain in India.
Moreover, this initiative is part of Apple’s already announced plan, which includes manufacturing iPhone batteries in India. The move underscores Apple’s commitment to long-term growth and investment in India. This journey, which began with the iPhone SE in 2017, has now also included models like the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, which have gradually moved into local production. This initiative of Apple marks the beginning of a new era in the Indian tech market, where the forces of local manufacturing and global technology are working together.
