Bengaluru: Giving an impetus to the Make In India initiative, Apple has started rolling out iPhone 7 at its Bengaluru facility.
Taiwanese industrial major Wistron already, Apple’s vendor, already assembles iPhone 6S in the country at the Bengaluru facility.
“We are proud to be producing iPhone 7 in Bengaluru for our local customers furthering our long-term commitment in India,” an Apple spokesperson told IANS on Tuesday.
The assembling of iPhone 7 began last month.
Wistron, which announced last year plans to invest ₹3,000 crore in the Narasupra industrial sector in Karnataka’s Kolar district, started Apple operations with assembling low-end iPhone SE and later iPhone 6S.
According to Wistron India head Gururaj A, the company would set up an iPhone making unit in the 43 acres of land allotted to it, with employment potential of over 10,000 people.
The new Wistron facility is also set to manufacture a wider range of Apple’s devices.
iPhone 7 runs iOS 12, is water-resistant and houses a 12MP camera, Retina HD display, great battery life and stereo speakers.
The 32GB iPhone 7 costs ₹39,900 while the 128GB variant ₹49,900.
