In a bid to develop India into a manufacturing hub in Asia, Apple has ramped up the production of iPhone 15 and 15 Plus in the country. Last year, the production of entry-level iPhone 14 models in India started three months after its launch. This year, all the iPhone 15 units sold in India will be manufactured and assembled locally. Apple will also export some units of the iPhone to the neighbouring Asian markets.
iPhone 15 is manufactured at Foxconn’s production facility in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu. The iPhone 15 Plus will also be locally assembled at this plant. Despite being locally manufactured, the iPhone 15 is priced higher in India than in the rest of the world. Read this article to learn how much the iPhone 15 Series costs in other parts of the world.
