Apple starts iPhone 16 production in India, diversifying supply chain away from China
However, new reports indicate that Apple is mass-producing its latest iPhone line-up, including the high-end Pro series, on a large scale in India alongside production in China.
The initiative could be part of Apple’s efforts to build resilience in its supply chain outside China, as relations between Beijing and Washington sour, analysts say, but it also shows increased confidence in India’s hi-tech manufacturing capabilities.
