Apple iPhone XR is already being assembled in India, claims new report

Firstpost  

It was reported last week that Apple had reportedly started the production of the iPhone XR in its Foxconn manufacturing plant in Chennai. Owing to the rising trade war between China and the US, Apple has been considering moving some of its manufacturing plants to India. Apple has not slashed the prices of iPhone 6S or iPhone SE that are already manufacturing in India so, most probably it won’t be doing that now. It is apparently three times the size of the largest franchisee store by Flagship Apple Premium Reseller, which was opened in August is spread across two floors in Mumbai’s High Street Phoenix Mall.
