Apple will make an agreement with India for the battery

Apple recently launched the iPhone 15 series in a grand event. After the iPhone 15, all eyes turned to the iPhone 16 models. The technology giant rolled up its sleeves for the battery of the iPhone 16 series. Apple is looking to diversify its supply chains amid rising geopolitical tension. It takes various measures for this. Here are the details…

Apple will supply the battery of the iPhone 16 series from India!

Apple wants to diversify the US technology giant’s global supply chain. It is also looking for alternative ways to escape the tensions and hot conflicts in the world and to ensure the continuity of production. It also wants to move production out of China. For this reason, it wants the batteries of its newest generation iPhones to be produced in India.

This week, an Indian government minister made a statement. According to the statement, TDK, Apple’s Japanese supplier, will establish a 180-acre facility in Manesar in the state of Haryana. The batteries to be used in Indian-made iPhones will be produced in these facilities.

Will it meet expectations? iPhone 16 Pro battery capacity revealed

iPhone 16 Pro will feature a 3,274 mAh battery, representing a slight increase of 2.48% compared to the previous model.

Thus, the Indian government has taken a big step towards realizing its goal of deepening the electronics manufacturing ecosystem in its country. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and IT, congratulated Apple, TDK and local authorities for taking this step.

Trade tensions between Washington and Beijing increase from time to time. For this reason, Apple has been trying to eliminate its dependence on China in its manufacturing and supply chains for years. Additionally, in recent months, Apple has sought to steadily increase production in Vietnam and India. But it has had great difficulty imitating the scale, speed and, in some cases, quality of Chinese operations. Apple did not like this situation.

Foxconn, Apple’s largest supplier, made the recent company announcement. According to this announcement, the company will invest in a new production facility in India. The amount of this investment will be more than 1.5 billion dollars, according to initial estimates.
