Foxconn to ship iPhones from Bengaluru factory to US starting June

Foxconn’s factory in Karnataka will begin manufacturing and commercial shipments of iPhones from June, the state’s Industry Minister MB Patil said in a social media post on Saturday.

“This isn’t just a manufacturing milestone — it marks a strategic shift. With rising geopolitical and tariff pressures, India is fast becoming Apple’s preferred production hub. This development strengthens Karnataka’s position in global manufacturing and opens the door to greater foreign investment — without compromising stakeholder interests,” he wrote on X.
