Love to play computer games On December 28, it was reported by foreign media that when Apple decided to start manufacturing iPhone SE in India last year, it was to reduce the import tax on this phone so that more Indian consumers could afford it. At that time, the iPhone SE was one of the cheapest Apple phones in the United States. India is the second largest smartphone market in the world after China, but its per capita income is very low. In 2016, the annual per capita income of Indians was US $1670, ranking 112 out of 164 countries.
Earlier this year, Apple began to produce iPhone 6s in India. Reuters recently reported that Apple would expand its production in India, including the production of more expensive iPhone models. The report quoted a source familiar with the plan as saying that Foxconn, Apple's OEM partner, will assemble high-end iPhones in a factory in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu. It is expected that high-end models such as iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR will be offline from Foxconn's production line in China.
Foxconn, which has already produced millet mobile phones in India, is expected to spend 356 million dollars to expand its Indian factory. Apple's decision could add 25000 jobs to India.
It is worth mentioning that the pricing of Xiaomi mobile phones is very suitable for Indian consumers. This Chinese manufacturer is currently the first smart phone brand in India. A survey shows that Apple's market share in India fell to 1-2% earlier this year, so some iPhones produced in India may be exported to other countries.
