If you were eager to buy a phone iPhone from the Apple company, then it is good to know that it is possible to no longer receive a unit manufactured at Foxconn in China, but at Pegatron in India. It seems that the Indian employees of Pegatron have gathered so much experience in the production of iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 phones that Apple is confident to sell the units manufactured in the factory there in Europe.
Until now, Apple only sells locally the production there, so we are talking about an important change of strategy for those from Cupertino, but one that could bring them big headaches. Apple started producing iPhone phones in India in order not to sell the products at very high prices due to import taxes, and now it is starting to export production including to Europe for customers here.
iPhone. Apple Sells in Europe the Units Made in India
Almost 100.000 units of the iPhone 6 or iPhone 7 are exported to Europe every month by the Apple company, so we are talking about a rather small number compared to the total production in China, for example. Apple would also start production for the iPhone 11 phones in India this year, but it is possible that it will not do so from the moment the products are put on sale in various areas around the world.
"Apple has started to export iPhones to some European markets from India, three people aware of the development said, a move that boosts the government's Make in India plan and is another step in the iconic smartphone company's efforts of making India an export hub."
The quality of iPhone phones produced in India should be as good as that of phones produced in China, and this is because in both countries we are talking about the same quality standards imposed by Apple. Theoretically, if you buy an iPhone produced in India, it should be of identical quality, and you shouldn't be able to tell the difference from a model that was produced in China by Foxconn.
