CTOnews.com, December 14 (Xinhua)-- in order to promote its diversified supply chain strategy, Apple has informed suppliers that it is inclined to purchase batteries for iPhone 16 series phones from Indian factories, according to the Financial Times.

Jibang Consulting believes that in view of the key factors of battery components in user safety, the battery assembly process can not tolerate the slightest mistake, while India's existing assembly capacity still needs a question mark. Jibang Consulting believes that there are many uncertainties and risks in Apple's production of batteries in India.

As the most valuable company in the world, Apple's supply chain strategy has been a key factor in its success. In recent years, with the support of the Indian government, Apple has actively expanded the production capacity of its cooperative factories in India.

Ji Bang Consulting uses iPhone 15 as an example to analyze the manufacturing distribution in 2023. Foxconn is dominant, while India's Tata Group only produces specific Plus models.

Jibang Consulting believes that when the iPhone core processor and camera modules change every year, the upgrade speed of the battery slows down significantly for safety considerations.

This delay is attributed to the critical importance of battery assembly safety. Even minor errors in battery components can cause significant damage to smartphone brands, given the potential risks to user safety.

With this in mind, the manufacturing distribution of Apple's iPhone 15 series suggests that Apple may not be entirely confident about Indian production.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Apple encouraged battery makers, including China's Desai, to build new factories in India. Sinopec has been asked to expand production in India to meet future order demand, according to people familiar with the matter.
