Make in India: Wistron commences assembling of Apple iPhone SE 2 in Kolar

Apple’s long-time supply partner Wistron has started assembling the company’s latest iPhone SE model in Kolar, Karnataka.

Previously, Wistron has been producing iPhone 7, iPhone 6S, and before that the first generation iPhone SE since 2017 at the company’s Peenya plant, in the western industrial hub of India’s Silicon Valley. The latter two models are no longer under production. Now, the company has commenced assembling the latest iPhone SE (2020) series at the mega mobile manufacturing plant in Narasapura, Kolar almost 70 km from Bengaluru.

“iPhone SE packs our most powerful chip into our most popular size at our most affordable price and we’re excited to be making it in India for our local customers,” Apple said in a statement to Deccan Herald.
