Apple advances talks with Titan Company and Murugappa Group for iPhone camera module assembly and potential manufacturing in India, diversifying from China-centric production.

Apple looks to deepen its supplier base in India by advancing talks with Tata Group's Titan Company and Murugappa Group to assemble and potentially manufacture sub-components for iPhone camera modules, shifting away from China-centric production. Currently, Apple lacks Indian suppliers for the critical camera module in iPhones, despite assembling several models in the country. Partnering with either Titan or Murugappa could address this issue.
