Apple is only assembling the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus in India. So, if you buy the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, you see “India” engraved inside the opening of the USB Type-C port.

What Is Hidden Inside the New Apple iPhone 15: India or China?

Apple has been assembling iPhones in India for quite some time, starting with the iPhone 6S in 2015. But this year, it’s special with the iPhone 15 series. Apple will only sell “Assembled in India” iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models in India from the first day of sale. Usually “Assembled in China” iPhones were sold in India in the initial months and only after a few months the “Assembled in India” models took over the market. But this time it’s very clear – it’s either India or China from the start. And Apple secretly writes it on the new iPhone 15 models as well.

While the iPhone 15 series comes with a new USB Type-C port, if you look closely inside, you’ll find either India or China engraved on it. You really have to pay attention in bright light to see it. Apple has always been clear about the country of origin, but this time the location of the engraving has made this topic a trend on social media.

It’s very simple, Apple only assembles iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus in India. Not iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both iPhone 15 Pro models are still assembled in China. So if you buy an iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, the USB Type-C port opening has “India” engraved on it. And if you buy iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, you will see “China”. “.

Apple assembles the iPhone 15 at the Foxconn factory near Chennai. As such, there are no plans to assemble iPhone 15 Pro models in India. But rest assured, the prices will remain the same. The prices of the latest iPhones are always the highest in India after local taxes, and even with the iPhone 15 series, nothing has changed in terms of pricing. This year, however, it may not make much sense for Indians to buy the iPhone 15 series from the United States or the United Arab Emirates. Why? Well, the US models are eSIM only and the price difference doesn’t serve enough ROI from Dubai or other regions.
