Apple iPhone 14 To Be Made In India Simultaneously With China

Apple is expected to launch its next-generation iPhone 14 series on September 13 this year. While there is no official confirmation on the launch timeline of the upcoming iPhone 14, a new report has divulged some production-related details. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will manufacture the iPhone 14 units in India. Let us take a look at the details.

Apple iPhone 14 Will Reportedly Be Made In India

The analyst claims that Apple will produce the new 6.1-inch iPhone 14 units at Foxconn’s production site in India. The devices will be manufactured almost simultaneously with China for the first time in 2022. According to Kuo, the manufacturing process has started in India a quarter or more later than China.

Owing to multiple geo-political issues worldwide and the COVID-19 lockdown, Apple had been facing supply chain constraints with Chinese manufacturers. Therefore, the company has reportedly constructed a non-Chinese iPhone production site in India. However, the iPhone Pro models will not be made in India.

Apple iPhone 14 Specifications (Expected)

The iPhone 14 is said to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution. The display will house a wide notch at the top for the Face ID sensors and the front camera. The iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Max might both come with a standard 60Hz refresh rate display.

The non-Pro models of the iPhone 14 series will reportedly be powered by an A15 Bionic chip. The same chip is found in the iPhone 13 series. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to receive a chip upgrade in the form of the A16 Bionic chipset.

For photography, the non-Pro iPhone models are said to feature a 12MP dual-rear camera setup and a 12MP front camera. When it comes to the battery, the vanilla iPhone 14 is said to pack in a 3,279mAh battery, while the iPhone 14 Max will come equipped with a 4,325mAh battery. In terms of software, we can expect the iPhone 14 series to run iOS 16 out of the box.
