As it diversifies its supply chains away from China, Apple has begun to make the iPhone 14 in India.

As tensions rise between Washington and Beijing, the company has shifted some production outside of China.

Major disruptions for businesses have been caused by China's "zero- Covid" policies.

New technologies and safety capabilities are introduced in the new line-up. Apple said it was excited to be manufacturing the phone in India.

The majority of Apple's phones are manufactured by Taiwan's Foxconn, which has an operation in Tamil Nadu, India.

The increase in iPhone production in India is good news for Modi.

The "Make in India" campaign was launched eight years ago in order to boost manufacturing and exports.

As tensions rise between China and the US over Taiwan and trade, Apple has taken steps to make its supply chain more diverse.

According to analysts at JP Morgan, Apple is expected to move 5% of its production of the device to India this year.

According to the report, 25% of all iPhone production will be in the South Asian nation by the year 2025.

According to the South East Asian country's government, Apple supplier Foxconn invested over one billion dollars in Vietnam last year.

The company signed a $300 million agreement to expand its facility in the north of the country, according to state media.
