Apple, which remains in the headlines, has decided to assemble the iPhone 15 model at the Foxconn factory in Brazil this time. The facility located in São Paulo is expected to be expanded to be more compliant with international Apple standards. The main reason for this move is cited as the high taxes imposed on electronic devices in the country.
Standard iPhones, sold for $1,460, have become unaffordable for many Brazilians. This price makes it nearly twice as expensive as in the United States. It is anticipated that this decision will set an important example for other technology giants investing in the country. Additionally, the country’s relatively close proximity to the United States emerged as another critical factor. Here are all the details…
iPhone 15, heading to Brazil this time!
We can say that another reason for Apple’s move is its effort to diversify its production and supply chain. So far, the company has relied on China for its production network, but with the weakening relations with the country, Apple has been seeking a new path. It seems that Apple’s management aims to increase its activities in other regions with cheaper labor, thus avoiding dependence on a single region.
However, let’s emphasize that only the standard iPhone 15 model with a 6.1-inch screen will be assembled in Brazil. The iPhone Plus, Pro, and Pro Max models will continue to be assembled in China, at least for the time being. It was announced that the products assembled in Brazil will bear the designation BR/A in their model numbers. While this news has been welcomed by the country’s population, it is expected that many new job opportunities will arise with the increased workload at the factory.
