Today, September 12, marks the largest launch event of the year for tech titan Apple
. The company’s event, which will be held at the “Steve Jobs Theatre” of Apple Headquarters in California this year, has been given the name “Wanderlust.” This event will start at 10:30 p.m., Indian time.
On the company’s website apple.com or through the Apple TV app, you may watch this event live online. Along with the iPhone 15 series, Apple may also introduce the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 during this event. The corporation has not, however, made any official announcements regarding the products that will be introduced at the event.
The business can release iOS 17
The launch date for the iOS 17 operating system can potentially be revealed by the business at the Apple Wanderlust event. Three months ago, during the WWDC23 event, the firm introduced the features of iOS 17. iOS 17 will include features including live voice mail transcription, the capacity to record FaceTime communications, and a customizable contact poster.
Users will be able to send recorded FaceTime messages after installing the iOS 17 update on their iPhone if someone is not answering the call. As a result, users can now access the voice command capability by just saying “Siri,” rather than “Hey Siri.” Users can now use offline maps as well. iOS 17 is currently undergoing beta testing.
In India, Foxconn is producing the iPhone 15
The iPhone 15 is produced by Foxconn, a Taiwanese electronics company, at its Tamil Nadu plant in India. Foxconn has expanded the number of production lines at the Chennai plant to speed up output. Along with the new iPhone series, Apple releases a number of additional goods every September.
India has been producing iPhones since 2017
With the release of the iPhone SE in 2017, Apple began producing iPhones in India. Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron are its three Electronics Manufacturing Service (EMS) partners. Following the iPhone SE, India also produced the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14. The Foxconn plant located in Sriperumbudur, which is close to Chennai.
Apple is a participant in the Indian government’s PLI program.
The Production-Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) of the Government of India, which has a budget of Rs 41,000 crore, includes all three of Apple’s contract manufacturers (Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron). The growth in iPhone production in India has only occurred since this initiative. The PLI Scheme was introduced in 2020 by the Indian government.
Through this program, businesses from other nations have the chance to profit from regional manufacturing and receive incentives for doing so.
