Apple iPhone 11’s local manufacturing begins at Foxconn’s Chennai plant

After iPhone XR, iPhone SE and iPhone 6S, Apple begins manufacturing one of its latest offerings – the iPhone 11 – locally in the country. iPhone 11 is being assembled at Foxconn ’s Chennai plant. This is for the first time Apple is manufacturing a top-of-the-line iPhone model in the country.

The local assembly line will help Apple avoid a 20 per cent tax that the company is required to pay for importing handsets from its global manufacturing facilities.
