Apple iPhone 14 production to break records in India

To further elaborate, the Indian manufacturing unit has been lagging behind that of China’s. Although Apple started manufacturing iPhones in India in 2018 with iPhone SE and continued for iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone SE2.

Usually, when Apple launches new iPhones, it comes with a Made in China tag during the launch. This is followed by ‘Made in India’ iPhones given the fact that the Indian unit usually lags. However, it is expected that there will be a point this year when Apple’s Indian unit will reach the same production capacity as that of China’s one. Apparently, this is why you will be able to spot Made in India iPhones right after the launch sometime in September this year.
