Only a few weeks after they begin shipping from Chinese manufacturers, Foxconn Technology Group’s Sriperumbudur facility is getting ready to supply the newest smartphones, according to a report.
Apple Inc.’s next iPhone 15, according to a report on Wednesday, is planned to be made in Tamil Nadu in an effort to increase the amount of new iPhones arriving from India.
Only a few weeks after they begin shipping from Chinese manufacturing, the most recent smartphones are being prepared for delivery at a Foxconn Technology Group facility in Sriperumbudur, according to Bloomberg News. This is being done in an effort to close the gap between Chinese manufacturing and operations in India.
The next iPhone is expected to be the largest improvement to the gadget in the past three years when it is unveiled on September 12, 2023.
The availability of the components, which are primarily imported, will have a significant impact on how many iPhones can be produced in India. The plant in Chennai has increased the production lines.
Apple only assembled a small portion of its iPhones in India prior to the iPhone 14, which put India’s production six to nine months behind China’s. Last year, Apple produced 7% of its iPhones in India towards the end of March, minimising the wait.
Although suppliers are not yet certain they will succeed, the company’s current objective is to get closer to parity on shipping timing from China and India, according to sources cited by Bloomberg News.
The Tata Group is reportedly purchasing a Wistron Corp. facility and Pegatron Corp., both of which will shortly produce the iPhone 15 in India, according to the report.
Prior to the formal debut, a video with information about Apple’s upcoming exciting new features was leaked. The Dynamic Island feature, which aims to provide the iPhone 15 punch-hole displays in all of its versions, is one notable innovation. This means that consumers may anticipate a more streamlined design with less bezels and a bigger display.
According to sources, the iPhone 15 Pro versions would reportedly come with Apple’s next A17 Bionic processor, produced using TSMC’s 3nm technology for ongoing performance and efficiency advancements. A16 Bionic is anticipated to be the processor for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
The iPhone 15 Pro models are anticipated to launch with a base storage capacity of 256GB,
According to rumours, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro versions may cost more. The costs for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus may be the same. On discussions with Asian supply chain businesses, this is based.
According to speculations, the iPhone 15 may cost $799 in the US and Rs 79,900 in India.
Apple would be offering the standard model for the same price as the iPhone 13 for the second time. The pricing of the iPhone 15 Plus might be $899 or Rs 89,900.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max versions, meanwhile, could see substantial price rises. From $999 last year, the price of the iPhone 15 Pro may increase to $1,099 this year. The price of the iPhone 14 Pro was increased by $300 for the Indian market when it was released. An expert predicted that the price of the iPhone 15 Pro may increase by $99, perhaps pushing the price up in India by Rs 10,000 this time.
