JAKARTA In producing its devices, Apple continues to depend on its factories in China and Taiwan. However, this will change after Apple produces other devices in India.
Based on leaked sources in the industry, citing a media report from the India Press Trust, Foxconn will produce AirPods in India in April. Unfortunately, it is not known what type of AirPods will be produced in the country.
However, it is likely that Apple's manufacturing partner will assemble all the latest AirPods models. Foxconn will produce the wearable device in Hyderabad, India. Then, the assembled devices will be exported.
It is also not clear whether the AirPods assembled in India will be exported to all Apple markets or only to certain markets. However, the Foxconn plant in India will help Apple's overall sales.

AirPods assembly contracts in India have been agreed since several years ago. Both Foxconn and Apple have signed their contracts in 2023, but Foxconn is only ready to produce their devices this year.
This manufacturing expansion is in line with Apple's targets. In recent years, both Apple and its manufacturing partners have started producing more products outside of China or Taiwan.
Apple's focus is on gradually assembling more products in factories located in India and Vietnam. There are currently not many devices produced in India, but Apple has focused on assembling the iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch in the country.
