Apple starts manufacturing iPhone 13 in India

Apple has started manufacturing one of the latest products in the country, while Apple is working at the responsible plant, a source from Reuters claimed. Sriperumbudur will collect devices.

This is the fourth iPhone made by Apple in India, the company became domestic production in 2017 with the original iPhone SE.

And the decision is not surprising, starting import duties from Apple iPhone 13 locally, including commercial facilities cost compared to competing counterparts within the borders of India.

Apple also started to diversify its production away from disputes, conflicts and other issues that may come with a big appearance on this country.

Indian production could help Apple overcome problems at Chinese factories, and the company was ready to move some AirPod and MacBook manufacturing to Vietnam, although Nikkei claimed the pandemic delayed those plans.

Work was conducted under working conditions in India, as riots erupted at Wistron’s iPhone factory in the Narasapura industrial district in late 2020 as workers complained of unpaid wages, excessive working hours and difficult conditions, and Apple placed Wistron on watch until the area’s built locks neighboring for security purposes.
