Apple Started To Manufacture iPhone 11 in India To Lower It's Prices

Foxconn, which is responsible for assembling and manufacturing various Apple devices, has begun manufacturing the iPhone 11 at its factory in India in an effort to reduce its price and eliminate heavy reliance on manufacturing in China.

The first batch of iPhone 11 phones manufactured at the Chennai Indian factory is now available for purchase in the country.

The move comes after Apple last year also built the iPhone XR in India. Prior to that, the iPhone 6S, 7 and the first generation of iPhone SE were manufactured in India through the Wistron plant.

Apple is seeking to reduce the price of its phones in a country with a majority of its population with relatively weak budgets. In doing so, it saves itself a 20% tax on importing phones from China, allowing it to lower its price and increase its competitiveness.


The iPhone 11 has received interest and welcome from consumers in India, and now Apple will offer more and relatively cheaper than its initial launch.

Foxconn plans to invest an additional $1 billion in various factories in India to increase its production capacity from various phones and devices and to shift more toward china-based industrialization.

Several other technology companies that manufacture smartphones have manufacturing contracts in India such as Xiaomi, Samsung, OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo, all of which are competing for the world's second largest smartphone market.
