Apple is making a major change by moving the production of the base iPhone 17 to India.
This is the first time Apple is starting production outside of China, showing their trust in India’s manufacturing.
The base iPhone 17 will be made at Foxconn’s factory in Bengaluru.
This is an important step for Apple in spreading its manufacturing.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will still be produced in China because of its strong supply chain and skilled workers.
Apple wants to rely less on China to avoid risks from political issues. India is a growing market, and making phones locally can lower costs for customers.
The Indian government is also encouraging companies to set up manufacturing with various benefits.
It’s unclear how this will affect the availability and shipping times for the iPhone 17, especially outside India. Apple needs to ensure that production in India meets its high quality standards. T
his move indicates Apple may continue to expand manufacturing in India.
By producing the base iPhone 17 in India, Apple is taking a big step in its global strategy.
This change shows a focus on diversifying production and reaching more customers in India while still making high-end models in China.
