What is known
One of the Brazilian users purchased an iPhone 14 with the identifier BR/A and the mark "Assembled in Brazil". Versions assembled in China are sold in Brazil marked BE/A or BZ/A.
The main advantage of smartphones assembled onBrazilian company Foxconn, is their price in the local market. The user purchased the iPhone 14 with 128 GB of RAM for $995. The "import" version of the smartphone in the basic configuration costs about $1520.
Apple has its own interests in the launch of the Brazilianproduction of the iPhone 14. It will reduce dependence on China amid rising tensions between Chinese and American authorities. Also, severe quarantine restrictions in China due to COVID-19 do not have the best effect on smartphone sales.
Naturally, Apple cannot completely abandon the assembly of smartphones in China. However, in 2023, some models of the iPhone 15 series will leave Foxconn's Indian assembly line.
