To avoid production impact, Apple iPad may turn to India for production!
Among the iPhone 14 series released by Apple earlier, although it was very popular in the market, Zhengzhou Foxconn, the main production place, was greatly affected by the epidemic, personnel and other factors, resulting in a sharp decline in the output of the entire series. Some users placed orders and even had to wait until next year to get the real machine, which is undoubtedly very difficult for Apple, a well-known brand, To further avoid this phenomenon, Apple seems to be talking about whether to turn the iPad to India for production!
Due to the influence of factors such as the epidemic situation in Zhengzhou Foxconn, Apple's iPhone 14 Pro production capacity has decreased sharply, which has even affected the time for consumers to receive goods. The iPhone 14 Pro series models on Apple's official website once required users to wait for 5-6 weeks. For this reason, Apple is also actively transferring production to avoid affecting its sales. In addition, Apple also wants to rely on Chinese manufacturers. Recently, it was reported that Apple is considering producing some iPad models in India. At present, Apple has negotiated with a number of Indian officials about the production of some iPad production lines in India, butthe implementation of iPad production still needs to overcome a series of problems such as fewer professional manufacturers, lower overall quality of contract workers, and backward/missing supporting surrounding facilities. Up to now, Apple has not specified the specific time point for producing iPad in India, which should still be in the internal evaluation stage.
Previously,Apple has transferred a small part of the production capacity of some AirPods earphones, iPhones and other product lines to Indiato reduce product production costs. However, because the overall level of OEM in India is not stable, and defective products have appeared before, Apple has been cautious about the scale of OEM in India. In addition, there was a media report that Apple was still conducting an internal evaluation to transfer the production of high-end product lines back to the United States, but the official has not yet given a response, which may also be in the process of internal research and judgment.
The above is the specific content about Apple's iPad may turn to India for production. Although doing so may effectively improve the production of new products, due to the large difference in the environment, it may be counterproductive if you switch to it hastily. Therefore, Apple is still in the evaluation stage internally.
