How Apple’s made in India plans may hit a ‘snag’

The European Union mandates a common charging port in devices, prompting Apple to switch to USB-C port. India plans to do the same, but Apple expresses concerns about meeting local production targets. Apple requests an exemption or delay for existing iPhone models from the charging port rules, citing hindrance to fulfilling the production-linked incentive scheme. India’s IT ministry reviews the request. Apple highlights the importance of a natural transition period to align with iPhone design timelines. No comments from Apple or India’s IT ministry.
