iPhone 15 series to be available in India at the same time

An Economic Times report claims that the iPhone 15 models would be manufactured in India, owing to which they may be available around the same time as the global launch. The manufacturing is said to have taken place in Apple assembler Foxconn's Chennai factory.

Last year, after the iPhone 14 launch, the India-made units went on sale within 10 days of the global launch. This year, Apple hopes to lessen the gap and the devices made in the Chennai factory would be first delivered to Indians and then considered for export.

The government recently imposed restrictions on the import of many electronic times including laptops, tablets, and personal computers. Earlier, these restrictions were expected to become effective in the first week of August, which now has been pushed to November 1.

The Indian government has been pushing for local manufacturing of electronics including smartphones, laptops, and semiconductors. This way, local jobs may be created for production of electronics.
