Serious talk of Foxconn’s move to India began in December 2018. Then, earlier this month, it emerged that the firm had invested $300m into upgrading its Chennai plant in preparation for making Apple devices.
A total of 290 million handsets were assembled in the country in 2018, according to the Indian Cellular and Electronics Association. This included the iPhone SE, 6, and 7 which are produced in India by Wistron.
