Apple Selling Indian-Made iPhone 14 Pro Max in China

Apple is selling imported iPhone 14 Pro Max devices in China that are assembled in India; at least that's what a Weibo post suggests. While Apple has been manufacturing various iPhone models in India for a while, this is the first time the company is importing these iPhones to countries like China. This could be a result of Apple's strategy of cutting reliance on China for the assembly of its products.

 

Apple used to be completely dependent on China for the assembly of iPhones, Macs, and iPads. Due to the ongoing trade war between the US and China, several US brands are now shifting their manufacturing fleet to countries like India and Vietnam to reduce dependency on China.

 

Will It Be Cheaper For Indian Consumers?

Although Apple is manufacturing its latest iPhone models in India, there doesn't seem to be any major perk for the users who want to buy an iPhone in India. The company even raised the prices of the iPhone 14 Pro models when compared to their predecessors in the country.

However, Apple is likely to be subsidizing the older iPhone models in India, where, e-commerce platforms like Flipkart offer devices like the iPhone 13 for less than Rs. 50,000, with more than a 30 percent discount on the launch price.

Due to local manufacturing, the company will cut down the import duty on these iPhones. Hence, despite offering these iPhones at a dirt-cheap price, the company will still make a profit.
