The manufacture and assembly of iPhone is not only done in China. For several years, the Taiwanese industrial group Foxconn has also assembled smartphones for the American company in India. The collaboration between the two entities could cross a new course in the coming weeks. Foxconn should soon make iPhone frames.
Foxconn will make iPhone chassis in India
Economic Times reveals that Foxconn is setting up a new unit in the ESR industrial park of Oragadam, Tamil Nadu, dedicated specifically to the manufacture of chassis for iPhone. Its construction is underway, although the media does not know when it will come to an end. Until now, this part which welcomes all the internal components of the smartphone was designed in India, but by Tata Electronics.
Foxconn therefore adds a string to her bow, she who was content to assemble the iPhone in her Sriperumbur factory, already in the state of Tamil Nadu. The industrial group also manages Airpods assembly in Hyderabad And has just set up a new iPhone assembly plant near Bengalore, a city of eight million inhabitants in southern India.
This Apple decision is undoubtedly linked to new customs duties on products imported into the United States set up by Donald Trump. China is the most heavily impacted country by them. However, Apple should not get away with it, even by increasing its activity in India.
No products found.
“” I have long informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expected that the iPhone that will be sold in the United States are manufactured and built in the United States, not in India or elsewhere. If this is not the case, Apple will have to pay a customs rate of at least 25 % in the United States. »»wrote Donald Trump on Truth Social in May.
