Apple planning to manufacture iPhone 14 in India

Apple Inc plans to start making the iPhone 14 in India about two months after its release in China, in a move that will narrow the gap from the typical six to nine months for previous launches, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

The company has been working with suppliers to ramp up manufacturing in India and the first iPhone 14s from the country are likely to be produced in late October or November, following the initial September release, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Apple’s Taiwan-based supplier Foxconn has studied the process of shipping items from China and assembling the iPhone 14 at its plant outside Chennai, it reported.
