Apple will release its new Apple iPhone 15 series on September 12. The new iPhones will go on sale a week later globally. According to reports, the Cupertino giant has started assembling the new iPhone 15 in India. These assembled phones will go on sale simultaneously with the global units. This generally happens a while after these devices go on sale, but Apple is also focusing on the Indian-assembled iPhones this time.
Made In India iPhone 15 To Simultaneously Roll Out With Global Launch
Apple has started manufacturing iPhone 15 models at Foxconn’s Sriperumbudur plant in Tamil Nadu. Now, a new report by the Economic Times claims that these models will ship at the same time as the global release. It would be a significant milestone for Apple as it generally ships the iPhone in India late compared to its other markets.

Last year, it took ten days for the Wistron factory to start manufacturing the iPhone 14 models after their global launch. It took another month for these India-assembled iPhones to arrive on the market.
This year, there could be less delay as the company has already started manufacturing the iPhone 15 models in India. Initially, these devices will cater to the Indian audience, and the company will export them to other markets later. Once the festive season ends, Apple will start exporting these units to Europe and the USA in December.
