【Pacific Technology News】Recently, relevant news broke that Apple will mass-produce the iPhone 16 Pro series models in India for the first time. This is the first time that Apple has produced its Pro series mobile phones in India. Previously, India was mainly responsible for the production of Apple's mid- and low-end models. Apple's move is mainly to enrich its global supply chain structure.


For many years, Apple has been seeking to diversify its supply chain to reduce its dependence on a single market. Producing the Pro series in India is an important part of this strategy. Producing high-end models in India is not only a big step for Apple, but also a milestone for India's manufacturing industry. This shows that India's manufacturing capabilities are improving and can meet the production needs of high-end products.

It is understood that Apple's main contract manufacturer Foxconn has begun training thousands of employees at its factory in Tamil Nadu in southern India in preparation for the upcoming mass production of the iPhone 16 series.

Apple plans to export the Pro and Pro Max models produced in India to Europe, the Middle East and the U.S., a strategy that could help optimize supply to the global market as demand for high-priced phones is low in India, the report said.

It is expected that by the end of this year, iPhones manufactured in India will be able to meet all the needs of the local market, which will further consolidate Apple's position in the Indian market. Apple's assembly business in India has reached US$14 billion, accounting for about 14% of its global production, showing its profound influence in the Indian market.
