According to a report from Bloomberg News on Tuesday, Apple Inc. intends to begin producing the iPhone 14 in India around two months after the device is first made available in China.

According to the report, which cited people with knowledge of the situation, the corporation has been collaborating with suppliers to increase production in India and reduce the time it takes to produce new iPhones from the usual six to nine months for prior launches.

As the US smartphone maker aims to reduce geopolitical risks on supply efficiency by building up production centres outside of China, ET had previously claimed that Apple may be considering exporting its forthcoming iPhone 14 from India.
