New Delhi: Giving an impetus to its India manufacturing plans, Apple has started the assembling of iPhone 7 at its supplier Wistron's facility in Bengaluru. "We are proud to be producing iPhone 7 in Bengaluru for our local customers furthering our long-term commitment in India," an Apple spokesperson told IANS on Tuesday. Wistron, which announced last year plans to invest ₹3,000 crore in the Narasupra industrial sector in Karnataka's Kolar district, started Apple operations with assembling low-end iPhone SE and later iPhone 6S. Apple has already begun reducing the price of iPhone in China and may follow the same in India where iPhone is considered expensive. For the first time this year, Apple has dropped iPhone prices on its official Chinese website.
