Apple is Now Making the iPhone 13 in India

Apple has started manufacturing the iPhone 13 in India as it tries to reduce reliance on its Chinese supply chain.

According to Reuters, the phone is being produced at a Foxconn plant in the town of Sriperumbudur in Southern Tamil Nadu state.

Apple has been shifting some areas of iPhone production from China to other markets including India, the world's second biggest smartphone market, and is also planning 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.


Apple launched manufacturing in India back in 2017 starting with the iPhone SE. The iPhone 13 will be the fourth model to be produced locally.
