Apple has started manufacturing one of its latest phones in India. Reuters reports the tech firm has begun producing iPhone 13 units in the country. While Apple didn't say which factory was responsible, a Reuters source claimed a Foxconn plant in the Tamil Nadu town of Sriperumbudur would assemble devices.

This is the fourth iPhone Apple has built in India. The company started domestic production in 2017 with the original iPhone SE.

The decision isn't surprising. The Indian government has used multiple tools to pressure companies into manufacturing locally, including investment rules that require local sourcing for 30 percent of parts. Rising import duties have also played a role. If Apple didn't make the iPhone 13 locally, the device might be prohibitively expensive compared to rival equivalents made within India's borders.

Apple has also been diversifying its production away from China to avoid trade disputes and other issues that might come with a heavy reliance on that country. Indian production could help Apple weather temporary disruptions at Chinese plants. The company was also reportedly set to move some AirPod and MacBook manufacturing to Vietnam, although Nikkei claimed the pandemic delayed those plans.

The expansion also comes despite labor trouble in India. Rioting erupted at Wistron's iPhone plant in the Narasapura industrial area in late 2020 as workers complained about unpaid wages, excessive hours and rough working conditions. Apple put Wistron on probation until the contractor addressed the issues, but it's safe to say the crisis wasn't going to help Apple's manufacturing expansion in the country.

听说东芝，松下，三星等外资从中国部分或全部撤出，越南接到巨大馅饼，三星680亿美元的订单砸到越南，相当于越南 28% 的GDP。

中国的傻逼防疫政策和方式迟早把自己玩死。两年前这么弄一下还可理解，这特么跟新冠斗了两年了，还这么搞，过犹不及，这不是作死吗？

听说东芝，松下，三星等外资从中国部分或全部撤出，越南接到巨大馅饼，三星680亿美元的订单砸到越南，相当于越南 28% 的GDP。

不如说是被撵出中国的。小鬼子的白色电器已经被彻底撵出中国，汽车也快了，新能源汽车已经没有小鬼子的品牌了，两田都买的比亚迪动力电池，氢能源已经被搁置了。在中国市场，棒子的手机已经归零，屏幕在归零的路上，存储设备也开始了，芯片还有两三年。苹果现在是首鼠两端，中国市场的高端也被荣耀抢了，供应链挪不走，就不敢离开中国市场。猴子的订单真假难辨，不过看看它们今年一季度对中国的贸易逆差就知道钱是谁挣了。国内工资待遇涨的很快，流水线工资已经到20到30元人民币一小时了，还很难招到人，一些低技能的工作应该给穷国了。
