Apple has no plans to manufacture its high-end model iPhone 14 Pro Max in India. In the past few days, we have seen leaks about the iPhone 14 Pro Max packaging box with Made in India stamp on it. But now a report confirms that there was no truth in the leak. According to sources quoted by GizmoChina, the high-end model will not be manufactured in the country.
As per reports, the tech giant is reportedly reducing its dependence on China for product manufacturing. “The new iPhone 14 lineup introduces new technologies and significant security capabilities. We are excited to manufacture the iPhone 14 in India,” the company said last month.
The components and technical expertise required to manufacture the iPhone Pros are not available in India, so it will take a few more years before the iPhone 14 Pro starts seeing the Made-in-India badge.
Having said that, Foxconn is already assembling the new iPhone 14 at its Sriperumbudur facility near Chennai. At this pace, industry analysts predict that next year, Apple may manufacture the iPhone 15 India At the same time in China. The tech giant started manufacturing iPhones in India in 2017 with the iPhone SE.

Apple manufactures some of its recent iPhone models in the country, including the iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. All these are assembled by Foxconn at its facility. While the iPhone SE and iPhone 12 are being assembled at the Wistron factory in Bangalore.
The local assembly has not reduced the final selling price of the iPhones in the country. In fact, with the ongoing currency volatility and rising dollar value, the prices of current iPhone models have gone up in India. Similarly, Apple has increased the price of iPad 9th gen, iPad Mini and iPad Air M1 variants in the country.
