Yes, recently there was a buzz on social media after a post that appeared with the information that iPhone 14 Pro Max was assembled in India. Even we covered the news as it was from a good source. However, upon checking the news deeply we found out that this information was untrue as Apple is not manufacturing its pro series in India so far.
Even though Apple assembles iPhone 14 in India, the company doesn’t assemble its pro series in India. Even the Tech Enthusiast Anubhav Yadav who posted on his social media later added a tweet. In that tweet, it was written “Recently, some netizens reported that they bought an iPhone 14 assembled in India, and the words “Assembled in India” were displayed on the box of the iPhone 14., Apple’s official response said that the parts of the iPhone 14 are manufactured in China. Regarding this matter, a reporter from the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” asked the official customer service hotline of Apple 400. A senior technical adviser of Apple said, “From the content of the photos, the parts of the iPhone are manufactured in China and assembled in India.” @ZEALER App”

Will India be the next manufacturing hub for Apple?
Apple has definitely some good prospects for India in the coming days for sure. As some reports suggest that due to tensions between china and USA, India can definitely be a game player.
According to Nikkei, the tech giant is asking its suppliers to shift some AirPods and Beats headphone production to India for the first time. This could be another victory for the national capital’s push for local manufacturing.
According to the report, Apple iPhone assembler Foxconn is planning to manufacture Beats headphones in India and hopes to eventually produce AirPods there as well.
According to the report, Luxshare Precision Industry, a Chinese supplier to Apple, and its subsidiaries plan to assist Apple in manufacturing AirPods in India.
However, Luxshare is currently focusing on its Vietnamese AirPods operations and may be slower than its competitors in beginning meaningful production of Apple products in India, according to the Nikkei newspaper.
