Apple has actually asked providers to start making a few of its AirPods and Beats earphones in India as early as next year, according to a Nikkei Asia report Wednesday.
The talks mark the business’s newest effort to decrease the danger of supply chain interruptions in China due to Covid lockdowns and increased U.S.-China trade stress. Apple was supposedly in conversations in August to move a few of its Apple Watches, MacBooks and HomePods to Vietnam, and it revealed in September it is putting together a few of its flagship iPhone 14 phones in India.
Apple still relies greatly on China for most of iPhone production.
Foxconn, among Apple’s producing partners, will make the Beats earphones in India and aim to produce AirPods there in the future, according to the report. Luxshare Precision Industry, that makes Apple’s AirPods in Vietnam and China, will likewise aid with AirPods production efforts in India.
Apple has actually been seeking to increase sales in India, the world’s second-largest smart device market. And though the business’s shift to production in India was at first targeted at increasing sales, it is now dealing with the nation more like a tactical production base, according to the report.
India will work to bring in additional financial investment by investing more than $30 billion on its electronic devices supply chain, Nikkei Asia stated.
An Apple agent did not right away react to an ask for remark.
