Apple confirms the production of iPhone 16e in India

The iPhone 16e is produced at a new $2.6 billion Foxconn facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, which is expected to be fully operational by December 2027. This facility aims to produce iPhone 16 and 16e models and create 50,000 jobs. Additionally, a Tata Electronics plant in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, has commenced production of older iPhone models. Together, these facilities contribute to Apple's goal of shifting most U.S.-bound iPhone production to India by 2026

Phone 16e specifications 

The iPhone 16e is priced starting at Rs 59,900 and is available in three storage options: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Featuring a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, this model stands out due to its notch design, marking it as the first phone after the iPhone 14 to incorporate this feature. Additionally, Face ID is included, enabling users to unlock their device without a home button.

Highlighting some of its standout features, the new iPhone runs on iOS 18 and boasts a protective ceramic shield material. Powering the device is the advanced 3nm A18 Bionic chip—the same processor found in the recently released iPhone 16 series. This model is also equipped with Apple Intelligence technology, further enhancing its functionality.
