Technology major Apple said the company will soon ship its India-made Apple iPhone SE in the domestic market.
According to The Hindu, the U.S.-major plans to do a trial assembling before the full-fledged production starts. The source also said the number of phones assembled at present will be a few and can be increased based on the trials.
Wistron, a Taiwanese original-design manufacturer (ODM) company, will assemble the iPhone SE phones out of its facility in Peenya, in Bengaluru.
Confirming the development, Apple said, in an official statement that the company is beginning initial production of a small number of iPhone SE in Bengaluru. iPhone SE is the most popular and powerful phone with a four-inch display in the world and Apple begin shipping to domestic customers this month.
With the India-made Apple phone hitting the market, the smartphone major expects to increase its market share in the country. Apple had also announced the setting up of a design and development accelerator in Bengaluru to support engineering talent and accelerate growth in the developer community dedicated to iOS, Apple’s mobile operating system.
