Is the Indian version of iPhone 15 coming? India to participate in the first batch of iPhone series supply for the first time

Recently, there has been a lot of news about the iPhone 15 on the internet, as it has already entered April and there is less than half a year before the official release of the iPhone 15. Previously, the vast majority of the iPhone industry chain was in China, and the quality was relatively reliable. However, according to the latest news, Apple officials will shift more and more of its industry chain to India, and India will also participate in the first supply of the iPhone 15 series.

According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple plans to ship directly from India after the release of the iPhone 15 series, which is the first time in a new iPhone product and marks the gradual progress of Apple's supply chain in shifting towards diversification. Of course, the main production of the iPhone 15 series is still being completed in the Chinese market, but Apple's water trial this time is only the beginning.

According to Mark Gurman, although Apple currently has very few orders for the Indian made iPhone 15, the quality feedback is relatively ideal, which is why it dares to make its initial supply. As the yield rate continues to increase, the proportion will also increase.

In fact, some insiders have previously stated that Hon Hai (Foxconn) plans to increase the annual production of iPhones assembled in India to 20 million units by 2024, and the number of employees will double to 100000. At present, the factory produces approximately 6 million iPhones annually.

With the continuous migration of Apple's industrial chain, India is becoming a market that many people consider to have great production potential. At present, it is not realistic to completely get rid of Chinese manufacturing. But as maturity and yield increase, Indian made iPhones will have a greater cost advantage, and the proportion of Indian made iPhones may gradually increase. At that time, consumers will not care about the origin of their products.

At present, Apple's continuous transfer of the iPhone industry chain to India is already a matter of certainty, after all, India's labor is cheaper, and the current relationship between China and the United States is not good. Compared to domestic production, the probability of problems with iPhones produced in India is much higher. Buying iPhones in the future is like opening a blind box, and no one knows whether it's good or bad.
