Apple starts selling locally assembled iPhone XR in India
Apple has started selling iPhone XR assembled in India. The budget iPhone from last year is one of the best-selling iPhone in the country. With local manufacturing, Apple is looking at further expanding its market share in the premium segment. The phones are being assembled at the Chennai factory of Foxconn, the Taiwanese contract manufacturer. The local manufacturing will also help Apple avoid high levies on the import of full-built devices. The iPhone maker will also be able to meet local sourcing norms, helping it open own retail stores in the country.
