Apple starts mass manufacturing iPhone 16, 16 Pro series in India, on time for September launch


In India, Foxconn’s facility in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, has played a pivotal role in this production ramp-up. The facility began the ’new product introduction’ (NPI) process for the iPhone 16 Pro models in July 2024

Similar delays occurred with LG Display last year, prompting Apple to increase its orders from Samsung to meet demand. This move is part of Apple’s broader strategy to diversify its production base beyond China, with India playing an increasingly important role in the company’s global supply chain. Last year, Apple made its India-built iPhone 15 units available to Indian customers on the first day of global sales, demonstrating its commitment to the local market.
