Apple Inc’s contract manufacturer Pegatron has started assembling the new iPhone 14 in India, Bloomberg News report said.

The move comes as Zhengzhou, a key iPhone manufacturing hub in China, was placed under an abrupt Covid-19 lockdown by local authorities.

Foxconn is Apple’s biggest iPhone maker, producing 70 percent of iPhone shipments globally. It makes most of the phones at the Zhengzhou plant where it employs about 200,000 people, though it has other smaller production sites in India and south China.
