Apple Plans to Ship Made-in-India iPhone 16 Globally Soon After its Debut

By Consultants Review Team Monday, 09 September 2024

With a notable shift in manufacturing methods, Apple is prepared to introduce the iPhone 16 series on a global scale. As to a rumor, the new iPhones would be manufactured in India and made available for purchase internationally soon after the debut. This is the first time that iPhones made in India would be delivered to every country so rapidly.

It is anticipated that the iPhone 16 series, which will make its formal debut at Apple's "Glowtime" event on Monday, will arrive in retailers 10 to 12 days after launch. The manufacturing partner of Apple, Foxconn, has enabled the commencement of the iPhone 16 models' manufacture in India. This is a big move for Apple since it means that from the moment sales begin, iPhones built in India will be available in cities all around the world.

Apple made the decision to increase production in India as part of a plan to lessen its reliance on Chinese manufacturers. By moving manufacturing to India, Apple is fortifying its position in one of the world's smartphone markets that is increasing at the quickest rate while also diversifying its supply chain.

Major improvements, like as bigger displays, more AI-powered functions, and better cameras, are anticipated for the iPhone 16 series. For example, the larger displays on the Pro models—6.3 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches for the Pro Max—will probably have slimmer bezels to allow for more screen real estate. Furthermore, the new A18 processor, which promises quicker performance and improved energy efficiency, will power all iPhone 16 models.

Shortly after their release, Indian-made iPhones were widely available, marking a significant turning point for the country's IT sector. This move is a major accomplishment for Apple's "Make in India" campaign and is anticipated to increase India's involvement in the global supply chain.

With just a few days till the iPhone 16 series launches, this launch is expected to be revolutionary for both Apple and India's position in the IT industry.
