In an effort to shift some of its production out of China, Apple Inc. announced on Monday that it will produce the newest iPhone 14, model number 14 in India.

At an event earlier this month, the company unveiled the newest iPhone 14, emphasising safety improvements over glitzy new technical features—with the exception of a new watch designed with adventure in mind.

“The new iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking new technologies and important safety capabilities. We’re excited to be manufacturing iPhone 14 in India,” Apple said in a statement.

JP Morgan analysts predict that Apple will shift roughly 5% of iPhone 14 production to India starting in late 2022. India is the second-largest smartphone market after China.

In a report last week, JPM analysts predicted that by 2025, Apple may produce one in every four iPhones in India.
