Importantly, Foxconn will be assembling the most expensive models, such as devices in the flagship iPhone X family, the source said, potentially taking Apple’s business in India to a new level. Foxconn, which already makes phones for Xiaomi Corp , will invest US$356mil (RM1.4bil) to expand the plant, including investment in iPhone production, Tamil Nadu’s Industries Minister MC Sampath shared. A third source confirmed Foxconn planned to assemble iPhones in India. The Hindu newspaper first reported on Dec 24 that the Foxconn plant would begin manufacturing various models of the iPhone. It is also unclear whether the production will be confined to assembly or include any component production in India.
