Apple launched iPhone 14 models earlier this month. Analysts estimate that by 2025, India will become the world's iPhone manufacturing hub as Apple gradually reduces its reliance on China, which has produced the majority of its devices for more than a decade. In a report earlier this month, JP Morgan analysts predicted that Apple will move 5% of its global iPhone 14 production to India by the end of 2022, expanding manufacturing capacity in India, and by 2025.

Interestingly, Apple is asking its EMS providers to manufacture iPhone 14/14 Plus models in India in Q4 2022, within 2-3 months of the start of production in mainland China. The much shorter interval means the growing importance of manufacturing in India and the potential allocation of iPhones to Indian manufacturing could increase in the future,” the report added. rice field.

Despite Apple's small market share in India, iPhone makers have increased their investment in the country over the past five years. The company publicly announced that he launched an online Apple Store in the country two years ago and is working on opening its first physical store in the country.

Apple rival Samsung has already identified India as an important global manufacturing hub, and he is building one of the country's largest factories.
