NEW DELHI: In a significant development, Apple has incorporated India’s NavIC GPS navigation in the latest iPhone 15 series, and this will be available to users and app developers in the Indian subcontinent, minister of state for IT & electronics Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said.

This is the first time that Apple has extended support for NavIC – created by ISRO – on its iPhone models.
