OREANDA-NEWS Apple has faced an outflow of a large number of engineers from Indian iPhone assembly plants. This is reported by Bloomberg.
Apple is betting heavily on its partner Foxconn's factories in India to reduce its reliance on Chinese manufacturing. Bloomberg sources have learned that 300 employees have left Indian factories over the past two months.
Sources said that the specialists who left for China are organizing production, and now there is practically no one to manage the assembly of the iPhone on many lines. It is noted that Foxconn's decision to recall employees was made at a critical moment, when the American IT giant began to increase production before the fall release of the iPhone 17.
The exact reason why Foxconn recalled the Chinese engineers is unknown. However, the agency's experts believe that the Chinese authorities, who are against the transfer of technology and employees to other regions, could have put pressure on the company.
The journalists emphasized that the efficiency of Apple's Indian enterprises has fallen. They also noticed that Foxconn continues to build most of the iPhone in China.
At the end of May, US President Donald Trump threatened to impose import duties of 25 percent on Apple for iPhone production outside the United States. It is noted that Trump is unhappy that the company produces gadgets in China, India and other countries.
