Apple Inc. has started manufacturing the iPhone 13 in India, the company said on Monday, as the US tech giant tries to reduce its dependence on the Chinese supply chain.
According to a source, the phone is being manufactured at a local plant of Apple’s Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn located in the city of Sriperumbudur in the southern Tamil Nadu state.
Apple is moving some areas of iPhone production from China to other markets, including India, the world’s second largest smartphone market, and also plans to assemble iPad tablets there.
India and countries such as Mexico and Vietnam are becoming increasingly important to contract manufacturers supplying American brands as they try to diversify production away from China.
