Apple supplier Foxconn is starting production of the iPhone 15 in India, the first time that a new iPhone has been made outside China prior to its announcement, Bloomberg reports.

The devices are to be manufactured at a Foxconn plant in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu.

Prior to the release of the iPhone 14, iPhones made in India lagged operations in China by around six to nine months.
