Apple’s iPhones will be produced with increasing frequency in India. Foxconn, in fact, intends to move part of its production from China to India due to Chinese “zero Covid” policies. According to the stime di Ming-Chi Kuoindeed, iPhones produced in India by Foxconn are expected to increase by + 150% in the course of 2023, compared to 2022.
