The production of the handset will reportedly be stepped up in phases. The report added that to minimise the dependence on China, the Cupertino-based tech company might even consider exporting India made phones. As for the pricing, the report reveals that Apple might slash iPhone 11 prices in India in the future as the local production is saving Apple 22 percent on import duty. For now, the prices remain unchanged.
Significant boost to Make in India!
