Apple is finally starting the manufacturing of iPhone X from July 2019 at Chennai manufacturing unit. A long awaited made in India iPhone dream is now true for Indians, the manufacturing at the Chennai factory is all set to start manufacturing high end iPhone X. After a long planning phase Apple is starting manufacturing iPhone X from July 2019. With this move company is supporting Make in India movement of Govt. of India.
The production of iPhone will be done by Foxconn Technology Group, a Taiwanese contract manufacturer. The Foxconn Technology has setup their manufacturing unit at Chennai in over 160 acres of land.
Apple trail production of iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR seems successful. Now Apple will start production of iPhone X at Chennai production facility. The assembly of iPhones will soon begin, starting with iPhone X.
As per the media report close of ongoing proceedings, “Foxconn will begin with the iPhone X (range) from the Chennai plant. The plans are to step up production capacity and diversify to even higher models going forward.”
Further mass production of iPhone in India depends on the incentives and favourability offered by the upcoming government. For the last 5 years PM Modi Government started various initiatives to increase the technological capabilities of India and started Make in India initiatives to bring top start manufacturing in India.
The manufacturing of iPhone X in India will certainly bring down the cost as it will save taxes. This will also bring more employment in India.
In the recent past (in 2019) the import o Apple’s iPhones shrunk to half as compared to 2017 imports. The reduce cost of iPhone X in India will certainly increase its sale in Indian market.

Apple has already started the production of iPhone 6s and iPhone Se models in a plant which is run by Wistron. The Wistron plant where these phone phones are in production is near Bengaluru.
