Apple's new phone is about to be released, and it is clear that Apple has high hopes for this year's flagship phone, the iPhone 16. Why did iPhone 15 sales hit a waterloo? And this year's Apple may face a strong opponent, because Huawei has carefully selected its new phone to launch on the same day as Apple's new phone. Especially before the new product launch date, Huawei's triple-fold mobile phone can already start pre-ordering. So far, there have been nearly 3 million online bookings. In the field of high-end mobile phones, Apple has really met its opponents.
Many people have said, why did the iPhone 15 sell poorly and suffer Waterloo? In addition to Apple's lack of new technology, another important reason is that Apple has handed over a large number of iPhone 15 orders to India for production. There are many rumors on the Internet that the yield rate of products produced in India is extremely low. At the end of August, the chairman of Foxconn also stood up and swore that "Made in India is no problem, Made in India is as good as Made in China." But the question is, do the majority of netizens really believe it? Will Chinese consumers like the "curry-flavored" iPhone?
So, regardless of what Foxconn's chairman says, what we see is that Apple has moved a lot of iPhone 16 production back to China. So in the past two months, Foxconn has been frantically recruiting workers in many provinces and cities, and raising salaries. Why? It is because Apple also realizes that only when the iPhone 16 is produced in China can it maintain strong production capacity, maintain a high yield rate, and impress Chinese consumers.
Can Made in India replace Made in China? This is what India have in mind, and it is also the wish of many Western countries, led by United States. But the question is, how can the production of Nala crotch in India replace the status of our world's factory? Especially a few days ago, United States media admitted that in the past few years, United States deliberately placed many orders to India, hoping that many multinational companies would move their production lines to India. The result? Instead, India buys a large number of intermediate goods from China, assembles them in India, and sells them to United States. United States hopes to suppress Made in China, but objectively makes our surplus with India bigger and bigger. In other words, India has become nothing more than an assembly plant for our final commodity.
This is very understandable, because although India has the same population of 1.4 billion as us, it does not have our whole industrial chain system, it does not have as many mature industrial workers and excellent engineers as us. Many people mention Made in India and say, "How can a country with 100 million people and 1.3 billion livestock fulfill the huge role of the world's factory?" "I think Apple's iPhone 15 sales are dismal, and the fact that it has taken a lot of iPhone 16 production back to China is the most telling thing. It shows that Apple is also aware that at least in the next few years, manufacturing in India is embarrassing. More and more countries and consumers around the world will also realize that only China is the world's factory. If Made in India wants to surpass us, we have to wait a long, long time!
