According to a report, Foxconn intends to increase the number of iPhone models it produces at its facility in India. According to reports, the Apple supplier is hoping to create up to 30 million iPhones this year after assembling over 12 million in the nation in 2024. According to recent rumors, the Cupertino corporation has been seeking to diversify its supply chain, and it may soon be able to make MacBook models, iPads, and AirPods domestically.
Limited Trials Are Being Conducted by Foxconn at the Bengaluru Facility
According to The Economic Times, Foxconn has been carrying out limited production trials at its Bengaluru facility, citing people familiar with the company’s operations. These test runs are reportedly the initial stage of the contract manufacturer’s ambitions to increase iPhone production in Taiwan.
According to the source, Foxconn is evaluating whether the Bengaluru plant can manufacture the iPhone while adhering to Apple’s exacting standards, even when production is carried out on a large scale, during these trial runs.
According to a person who spoke to the publication, Foxconn intends to boost its production to 25–30 million iPhones after assembling about 12 million devices in India in 2024. Tax breaks on smartphone component imports that were approved at the Union Budget are anticipated to help the company.
According to the report, Foxconn hopes to reach its new target of producing up to 30 million iPhones this year by using the Bengaluru facility. The contract manufacturer will proceed to the “revenue build” phase following the conclusion of the testing, enabling the shipment of phones manufactured by Foxconn.
According to a recent claim, Apple is also increasing its workforce in India in anticipation of allegedly starting to produce the iPad, MacBook, and AirPods there. Since it began manufacturing the iPhone in 2017, Apple has sought to lessen its reliance on China and increase the robustness of its supply chain.
