According to reports, Apple has been looking for an alternative market to produce its iPhone models. Beijing happens to be the hub of Apple's global shipments, but the recent tensions between China and the US besides the economic turmoil due to Covid-19 pandemic has forced the mobile giant to look for alternatives.
It is believed that the production of Apple phones in India and China will help the company to minimise the impact of problems faced in the recent times. Kuo has also claimed that the US-China geopolitical tensions will not affect iPhone 14 mass production and shipment schedule.
As per reports, the iPhone 14 models are set to be produced in India in about two months after the product's release out of China. However, Apple apparently has its reservations about manufacturing units in India due to challenges like maintaining high standards and product secrecy.
