Foxconn’s base in Sriperumbudur, India, started making the iPhone 15 series in August 2023. The goal was to shorten the shipping time difference between India and China and sync the supply chains of both places. The Indian factory closely followed its Chinese counterpart, supplying iPhone 15 series phones to the global market with only a few weeks’ difference.

Last year, Indian factories had major issues during the assembly of the iPhone 15. Due to quality problems, many products were returned. This forced Apple to cut prices. The issue was so severe that Apple CEO Tim Cook visited China to adjust the supply chain.

In response to these setbacks, Apple adjusted its strategy this year. Part of its production moved back to mainland China. Industry giants like BYD and Luxshare Precision are now part of the iPhone 16 supply chain, becoming new partners for Apple.

Despite these efforts, Indian factories still face many problems. They rely heavily on parts from mainland China, which affects both quality and efficiency. Also, Indian factories have low iPhone yield rates (only about 50%) and hygiene issues, including high E. coli levels. These problems hurt product exports to Europe and mainland China, impacting sales.

Due to these issues, Apple cut prices and promoted sales to lessen the impact. This move shows the difficulties Apple faced in keeping quality and efficiency in its Indian production sites.
