Apple will begin manufacturing its iPhones in Bangalore, India, in the coming months, a move that will not only allow them to decentralize part of their production, carried out in Asia, but also to expand into a complicated market. This production is expected to begin around April, and what is still not clear - at least not one hundred percent - is whether part of the devices manufactured there will be sold outside the country.
In any case, this scenario could lead to a curious situation for the best-selling terminal of the apple company. For the first time, iPhones they could change the significant inscription that we can read on the back thereof. Thus, the mythical 'Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China 'could mutate to become' Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in India '.
This will be a piece of information that will matter little to the vast majority of users of the devices, but which could lead to new comparisons between those made in China and those of Indian origin. If it already happens when some of the internal components are manufactured by different companies, a change of country could have an even greater impact. In addition, it would also pose a new challenge for the brand's staunch collectors, even more so if it turns out to be true that the units manufactured there can only be found in the local market.
The latter is the most likely option, so we may never have an iPhone made in India in our hands. 2017 could therefore be the year in which Apple changes one of the most characteristic signs that we have been able to see during all these years in the different models of its smartphones. Throughout it, as the first units of the devices manufactured there begin to be seen, we will be able to dispel all our doubts.
