          whether they will be exported or not is another question. for now, only cheapest assembled in india iphones are sold outside of india. indians is the nation which is hardwired to not give a **ck. therefore, there can be quality control issues. currently almost all smartphones sold in india is made in india as well. they are not sold anywhere else though.
          BBK is probably the only who took the issue seriously so they build their own factory at noida

            Super Android 22, 17 Jan 2023So you're saying you're happy they are swapping t... moreThat's how the outsourcing businesses work. These countries don't have a minimum wage system and companies like Apple exploit this. I think the 'insane working hours' are the real problem. Thankfully enough, India has laws against that.

                      Saeed Altaf , 16 Jan 2023I would like to suggest apple please do not make any phone ... moreSaeed , this situation exists in many countries. It is even worse in middle eastern countries.

                        HopeFilledIdiot, 16 Jan 2023I wish this meant some savings translated over to the custo... moreSo you're saying you're happy they are swapping to another Asian country to use their citizens for slave labour, paying pennies an hour while working insane hours to still be un able to afford to live, working in some of the worst conditions you'll see, as long as you pay less for your "American" companies device?

                        Seriously messed up attitudes round here with the other comments too, bashing all Chinese products and people while praising their Chinese iPhones being superior because its made by an American company, and praising new Asian communities being used for slave labour, no one see the problem here?

                        Disgusting really and completely disrespectful. Clear your house of all the Chinese and Asian made products (so everything), don't go to hospitals to use the Chinese made medical devices to keep you alive and make you better, stop buying apple and Google products that are made in China, make a group for yourselves and be racist there, thanks.

                                That is great, maybe the Asian region can benefit from relatively cheaper iPhones.
