Google mulls moving some production of Pixel phones to India Google is thinking about shifting some of the Pixel phone production to India. This action follows COVID-19 lockdown-related disturbances in China and escalating hostilities between China and the US. According to reports, parent company Alphabet Inc has requested bids from manufacturers to produce 500,000–1 million Pixel devices. According to a report by The Information, Google is aiming to produce 10 to 20 percent of the estimated annual production for Pixel. The report said that Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai had earlier this year evaluated a strategy for manufacturing in India, but no final decision had been taken. If the approval is implemented, India will have to import parts from China. According to Nikkei, Vietnam is another option that Alphabet is examining. Apple now produces four models in India with the assistance of its contract manufacturing partners Foxconn and Wistron. It''s also expected that India will produce the newest iPhone from Apple, the iPhone 14. On September 7, the business revealed the iPhone 14 series.
