Apple reportedly has started trial production of iPhone 13 in the Foxconn plant near Chennai. The company expects to start commercial production of iPhone 13 in India for both the domestic market and exports by February 2022.
As per industry sources, Apple has secured supply of semiconductor chips following which it is now planning to expand production into India. Production of iPhone 13 in India will help Apple improve supplies of the model into its global markets since around 20-30 per cent of output produced in India are exported.
Meanwhile, in overall sales, lower priced models such as iPhone 11 and 12 contribute the most in India. Apple already produces iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 in the Foxconn plant and iPhone SE in the Wistron plant in Bengaluru.
