Due to the ongoing global pandemic, Apple has delayed the lauch of the iPhone 12 series.
A report by Buisness Standard says that Apple’s contract manufacturer Wistron is planning to hire 10,000 workers to expand the local manufacturing capacity. According to a separate report by The New Indian Express, the new facility by Wistron is located in Narasapura of Kolar district that is in Karnataka and about 70 kilometres from Bengaluru. This is the second facility by the contract manufacturer in Karnataka after the first facility at Peenya in Bengaluru where it already produces the earlier iPhone models.
The Cupertino giant already assembles some iPhone models like the iPhone XR and iPhone 11 in India. It will be interesting to see the cost of the new iPhone 12 series since it will be manufactured in India under the Make in India scheme by PM Narendra Modi.
