Apple to Launch iPhone 16 Series with Global Availability from India
Apple is poised to launch its highly anticipated iPhone 16 series globally, with a significant shift in production strategy. These new iPhones will be manufactured in India and made available worldwide shortly after the launch, marking a historic first for Indian-made iPhones.
The iPhone 16 series, unveiled at Apple's "Glowtime" event, will hit stores within 10 to 12 days of the launch. Thanks to Foxconn, Apple's manufacturing partner, production of the iPhone 16 models has already commenced in India. This move signifies a major step for Apple, as the Indian-made iPhones will be available in cities across the world right from the start of sales.
Apple's decision to ramp up production in India stems from its strategy to reduce reliance on China for manufacturing. By expanding production to India, Apple not only diversifies its supply chain but also strengthens its presence in one of the fastest-growing smartphone markets globally.
The iPhone 16 series is expected to boast major upgrades, including larger screens, enhanced AI-powered features, and improved cameras. The Pro models will likely feature bigger displays—6.3 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches for the Pro Max—with thinner bezels for more screen space. Additionally, all iPhone 16 models will be powered by the new A18 chip, promising faster performance and better energy efficiency.
For photography enthusiasts, the Pro models are set to include a 5x telephoto lens for improved zoom, and all models will have energy-efficient displays thanks to Samsung's latest technology.
The global availability of Indian-made iPhones shortly after launch marks a major milestone for India's tech manufacturing industry. This move is expected to boost India's role in the global supply chain and marks a significant achievement for Apple's "Make in India" efforts.
With the launch of the iPhone 16 series just days away, this event is poised to be a game-changer—not just for Apple, but for India's place in the tech world.
