Apple To Manufacture iPhone 16 Pro Models In India

SRIPERUMBUDUR, (IANS) – In a fillip to India’s manufacturing, tech giant Apple is set to make its ‘Make in India’ iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models available in the country right after the global launch this fall, industry sources said on July 26.

Sources said that these high-end, India-assembled Apple devices will be available within 1-2 months of the global launch in partnership with leading manufacturer Foxconn’s facility in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, iPhone 16 is set to be made available on the first day of global sales in India, just like last year when iPhone 15 arrived in the domestic market on the very first day of the global sale. It will be shortly followed by iPhone 16 Plus models, sources added.

According to experts, with rising tensions between the US and China, India offers Apple a strategic hedge to diversify its manufacturing and revenue streams.
