Inside Foxconn’s struggle to manufacture iPhones in India


Listen Later

Foxconn is flying engineers from China to India to train the next generation of iPhone builders. But both the Chinese engineers and Indian assembly line workers describe a serious culture clash.


In this episode, Rest of World follows the development and expansion of a new iPhone factory in India, as Foxconn manufactures the iPhone 15 outside of China for the first time. We spoke with two dozen assembly line workers, technicians, engineers, and managers to get the inside story of how Foxconn achieved this feat.

Written by Viola Zhou and Nilesh Christopher. Narrated by Mithila Phadke.
