Apple has long focused on India. It is a country that he considers to be emerging and which must gradually position itself as one of the countries that helps the American company the most in order to avoid all the previous problems that it may have had with China. For example. Good news has already been released about the business that will be done in this country and now we can say that it will indeed position itself as one of the countries where the next AirPods are made.
We’ve always said that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket and that’s what Apple does with the production system of its various devices. AirPods were made in China, for the most part, but henceforth it will be India which will monopolize a large part of the production. Not all of them, because they would have the same problems, but it is almost certain that the next AirPods that you will buy in the medium term were manufactured in this country.
Of course, the manufacturer will continue to be the largest supplier to the company that is Foxconn but will avoid any restrictions the Chinese government may place on domestic factories. In this first phase, it is estimated that $500 million investment what is going to be done, well above the rumors which indicated that they would be at most 200 million, they will allow the creation of a factory which will give work to some 25,000 employees.
This was confirmed by the Minister, KT Rama Rao, IT Minister of the Indian State of Telangana, in a tweet posted on the social network. Although it has not yet been confirmed by Apple or Foxconn, no retraction is now expected by either party. If everything goes normally Kongar Kalaan will house the said factory.
