# Apple expands iPhone assembly in India

Date: 2022

## The fact

In 2022–23 Apple expanded iPhone assembly in India, a completed China-plus-one instrument under Cook.

## Context

Neighbouring Zhengzhou 2022 is the China shock. Neighbouring Foxconn labour is the shop-floor analogue. He did not write a Make-in-India gazette as a minister.

Zhengzhou December 2022 is neighbouring China shock. Foxconn 2012 is neighbouring assembler labour.

[Tim Cook](/people/tim-cook) has been Apple CEO since 24 August 2011. He does not write a DOJ complaint, a Commission DMA decision, an Irish Finance Act, or a Chinese Cyberspace Administration rule. Steve Jobs is a different, dead person. A product launch is not a labour statute. A privacy keynote is not a completed DMA compliance certificate. Keep those dates separate. A 10-K climate page is not a unique ppm. An assembler audit is not a unique suicide count as his personal tally. A DMA listing is not a completed sideload world. A DOJ complaint is not a breakup. TSMC fabricates; Foxconn assembles; App Review enforces.

## Evidence and sources

Apple carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

A line is not a unique wage coefficient.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2022–23 India iPhone assembly expansion, independently reported.

Not established: that China assembly ended, or a unique later Indian unemployment coefficient from the first unit.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Contract manufacturers built lines. Indian states hosted. Foxconn and Tata sat as neighbouring firms.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Apple expands iPhone assembly in India, not a later speech about Apple expands iPhone assembly in India.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Apple expands iPhone assembly in India on 2022-09-26 is not a licence to treat every later Apple communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Apple expands iPhone assembly in India into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He expanded as CEO. Contract manufacturers built lines. Indian states hosted. Foxconn and Tata sat as neighbouring firms. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
