Suppliers are known to have a low yield rate:
This means the assembly process/QC there is inferior to the setup in China, it's basically like buying a Camry made by Tesla vs a Camry made by Toyota
Apple’s India production faces quality issues, about 50% of iPhone housings produced rejected
Tata’s Apple factory at Hosur, which make cases or housings for iPhones, had 50 per cent of its produced cases fail Apple’s quality control check. The Apple factory is now working on a strategy to improve proficiency, but there is still a long way to go.www.firstpost.com

iPhones are not made in Tata’s facilities which the article mentioned. As the trial runs showed problems, Tata bought Wistron out. Since 2019 Foxcon assembles in their factories in India. No issues were reported either. I don’t think that Apple or India would like to send out iPhones with lower quality into the market.Suppliers are known to have a low yield rate:

Excellent, a whole set of random hot air bubbles. Because your 2017 iPad headphones prediction needs an even more unrealistic 2023 variant, I assume.
So many dumdums.
Low yield doesn’t mean the quality of the product on shelves is lower. It means a higher percentage failed QC before making it to the shelves. Its a problem for Apple’s margins, not for the end user.
And, I don’t believe a single Pro is being made in India. And only a fraction of the normal 15?

thank you so much, I have been waiting 10 years to upgrade because I keep hearing next years phone will be even better. I guess I can wait another year
I’m pretty sure the same company doing the assembly in India is the exact same company doing assembly in China. They’ve just expanded locations for geopolitical reasons.
Zhengzhou of the Henan province, not Zhangzhou of the Fujian province.
Display size rumors are often accurate. at least they were with the Mini, Plus, Pro etc before they first got their current sizes. Supply chain must be very "leaky"

It also involves many other smaller companies to provide components and materials. Also the Chinese workers had 10 experience, Indian workers has none. Good luck with your Indian iPhone. Yeah same Foxconn, but also the Chinese managers with 10 years experience are not the Indian managers with none experience.
The iphone 15 release will be a good indicator with the new manufacturing location to see how it fares, quality wise, till next September. I doubt maybe 100% of all iphone 15s will be manufactured in one place, so maybe China is still doing a percentage of them etc splitting them between the 2 countries. just a thought.
