A recent report in the Wall Street Journal, a prestigious source that has been leaking Apple secrets since long has said that it might be possible for the company to start building Phones in India. WSJ came to know about this move thanks to government sources familiar with the matter.
Taiwanese company Wistron Corp, Apple’s contract manufacturer, has already setup a unit in Bengaluru in Karnataka. It will most likely be making iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s models at this plant in a four-to-six week time-frame according to an official from Karnataka. The iPhone SE will also be added to the assembly line in about a three month time-frame.
According to the report, the officials say that all the preparations are ready at the Bengaluru plant of Wistron. An Apple spokeswoman also mentioned that Apple has been working hard to develop its operations in India and that the company was happy with the constructive and open dialogue with the government pertaining to expanding local operations.
