Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to start manufacturing iPhone 14 in India as it seeks alternatives to China after the country's recent political clashes with the US over Taiwan and as fresh coronavirus lockdowns have disrupted production, Bloomberg News has reported. The US tech giant has been working with suppliers to ramp up production in India and shorten the lag in manufacturing new iPhones from the typical six to nine months for previous launches, the Bloomberg report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
