The latest iPhone 15, proudly made in India, is all set to hit the markets just a few weeks after its China release. With this move, Apple is taking a step towards broadening its manufacturing beyond China, aiming to reduce supply chain vulnerabilities for its critical products amidst increasing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing.

The assembly of iPhones in India is expected to begin soon at the Foxconn facility located near Chennai, and the extent of production will depend on the seamless scaling up of production lines and the availability of components, largely sourced through imports.

But that's not all - other Apple suppliers in India, such as Pegatron Corp. and a Wistron Corp. facility owned by the Tata Group, are also gearing up to start iPhone 15 assembly.

And that's not the only exciting news! The iPhone 15 series will be launched today at the highly anticipated Wonderlust event, starting at 10:30 p.m. (India time). Along with the latest iPhones, the event will also feature the new Apple Watch series and Apple AirPods.

Get ready to unveil the latest iPhone series at the Wonderlust event tonight. The iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max are the four new models that are likely to be unveiled. Exciting times ahead!

Here Are Some Important Highlights Of This Event:

The most awaited event is scheduled for 12 September at Steve Jobs Theatre.

The company is expected to unleash the latest iPhone 15 series, which might launch 2 or 3 variants.

Apple may also showcase the new watch series 9 along with the Apple watch Ultra 2.

The upcoming iPad may look like Mackbood with a magic keyboard.

The new MacBook may also get launched with an upgraded chipset and stronger specs.

One of the most anticipated gadgets is the new AirPods from Apple.

Here's a look at 5 things you probably didn't know about Apple's flagship device:

1. How the idea of the iPhone came to Steve Jobs:

While the iPhone was one of the most successful products of Apple, the company wasn't initially working on the idea of a smartphone at first instead. Founder Steve Jobs wanted his engineers to work on a tablet with a visual keyboard. Later on, after witnessing the multi-touch functionality of the new device, Jobs asked his team to work on a phone instead.

2. Apple changed the display of the original iPhone before launch:

The original iPhone showcased by Steve Jobs at the event in 2007 had featured a plastic display but it was later changed to a glass one. According to the report, Jobs had found that the plastic display on the iPhone was resulting in a lot of scratches when kept in the pocket and he subsequently asked Corning Glass to develop the glass for the iPhone.

3. The original iPhone didn't last long:

While the iPhones have made a name for themselves and have been associated with quality and reliability, the original iPhone lasted only two months by Apple. The OG iPhone was launched in 4GB and 8GB variants but the former was later taken off the shelves within 2 months while the price of the 8GB version was slashed.

4. Secrecy around the original iPhone:

To keep the original iPhone a secret, Apple had given the smartphone a codename. Reportedly, the smartphone had been codenamed Purple and the place where employees worked on it was called the Purple Dorm.

5. When Steve Jobs ordered from Starbucks during the iPhone 2007 launch:

During the now-famous 2007 presentation, Steve Jobs ordered 4,000 lattes from Starbucks as a way to highlight the capabilities of the new iPhone. Jobs wanted to highlight the Maps feature in the new iPhone and he looked up the nearest Starbucks and called them up. Jobs then went to give an order of 4,000 lattes to the attendant.
