Half of the iPhone cases produced in India are defective

Recently, Apple has been actively working to reduce its dependence on China. According to the plans,

the company plans to transfer up to 25% of all iPhone production to India by 2025, and 50% by 2027. However, it looks like there may be problems with this.

What is known

Journalists from the Financial Times talkedwith some former Apple employees who reported that the company was having problems with poor performance. We are talking about the plant of the Indian manufacturing giant Tata, which is located in Hosur. Other manufacturing plants were not mentioned in the report.

So, at this plant, 50% of the cases producedfor smartphones turned out to be a defect - they were rejected by Apple's quality control service. According to sources, the situation should improve, but this process will likely require a significant amount of time and effort.

In addition, India faces problems with logistics, tariffs and infrastructure.
