iPhone 15 production starts in Tamil Nadus Foxconn factory: Report

Apple’s iPhone 15 range is expected to hit floors on September 12th. Ahead of that, Apple and its subsidiaries are trying to boost production in all spheres. Now, reports coming up reveal that Foxconn’s Indian unit at Tamil Nadu has also begun operations towards the same. Apple, under the best circumstances, could release its new line up of iPhone 15 series soon on September 15th. Keeping that deadline in mind, production has been pumped up. 

According to a recent Economic Times report, iPhone 15 productions have begun at Foxconn’s Tamil Nadu unit. The production of iPhone 15 at Tamil Nadu is a further attempt to narrow down the gap between the Indian operations and the main manufacturing base in China.

The Foxconn Unit plant which is located in Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu is expected to start delivering the iPhone 15 units only a few weeks after its Chinese counterparts. A source told ET that they are planning to increase the volume of new iPhones that are being produced in India.

This is all a part of Apple’s plan to diversify its production and move it out of the USA owing to the complicated relationship between the US and China that could eventually impact the trade.

India, on the other hand, is trying to build itself as a manufacturing hub and even trying to strengthen its ties with the States.

Earlier, as in before the iPhone 14 series, only a small number of iPhones were being manufactured in India, which meant an output gap of six to nine months from China. Last year when Apple produced 7% of its iPhones in India then this output was reduced majorly.

Another source told ET, that they are aiming to reduce the difference in shipment time between India and China but aren’t sure if this will be possible or not.
