Another iPhone manufacturer is considering flagship production in India
The iPhone 8 Plus
Revealed in a report by The Financial Times, Apple’s other contract manufacturer Pegatron is looking into new manufacturing facilities in India as well as both Vietnam and Indonesia. Exact details haven’t been announced yet but the company’s President did confirm that further details will be announced in the near future. The speed at which other facilities are created will, however, depend largely on the ongoing trade war between China and the US.
Since the launch of the 2018 iPhone series last year, Apple has faced declining sales across the globe, with the Chinese market seeing the biggest drop. Likewise, the American firm has continued to see slowing demand in India, most of which is attributed to high prices.
The latter is partly the reason Apple and its suppliers are so keen to commence manufacturing in India. After all, it would allow them to avoid the hefty taxes that the India government currently applies to Apple’s products.
