iPhone XR now being assembled in India; all you need to know

American multinational technology company, Apple has started selling its popular iPhone XR phones that are assembled in India. According to Gadget 360, the phones are being assembled at Taipei-based contract manufacturer Foxconn's India factory, helping the Cupertino, California-based company avoid high levies on the import of fully-built devices as well as meet local sourcing norms for opening its own retail stores in India.

On Monday in many of the country's electronic product retailers, including Croma, iPhone XR boxes with an "Assembled in India" tag were seen with a price tag of Rs. 49,900 for the 64 GB version.

The smartphone is riding on heavy promotional offers following its original rate of Rs 76,900 last year on launch. Apple has slashed iPhone XR prices in India to counter a prolonged sales slowdown amid fierce competition from premium smartphones from Samsung and OnePlus.

Apple iPhone XR features and specifications:
It sports a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD display with 1792 X 828 pixel resolution and is powered by Apple’s A12 Bionic Chipset.

The phone has a single wide-angle rear camera of 12MP resolution with f/1.8 aperture. For the front camera, iPhone XR has a 7MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture. It has 3G RAM and is powered by a 2716 mAh battery.
