Apple Manufacturing phones in India

 The 2020 version of the iPhone SE is now being manufactured in India. The firm also used to manufacture the original iPhone SE in India, but has since taken the smartphone off its worldwide manufacturing line. Earlier this year, the iPhone SE 2020 was released in India, but the company has not yet manufactured it here. The system will be manufactured in its Bengaluru factory by supplier Wistron.

In the quarter ended June this year, Apple rose 5 percent year-on-year in India. Most of this growth was due to the iPhone SE (2020)'s good sales, which is presumably why Apple wants to move its assembly to the country. The total market share of Apple in India is only about 2 percent.

With growing anti-China sentiments all over the world, India is the country with second highest population in the world next to China with high man power. India with its young working population could easily meet the demand and supply for iPhone in the Asian continent but still India has to depend on China for OEM component manufacturing as India doesn’t have a proper setup for it giving China once again a upper hand in the situation. This will delay the process of manufacturing the phones locally and meeting the demand could be controlled by China to certain extent
