< Back Foxconn to start assembling iPads in Tamil Nadu Plant 26 Jul 2024 Its experience assembling iPhones in the Tamil Nadu plant has been encouraging, and now Foxconn plans to use the facility to assemble iPads. Foxconn, a Taiwanese contract manufacturer of Apple products, plans to start assembling iPads in its Sriperumbudur plant in Tamil Nadu. iPad assembly requirements are similar to those of an iPhone, unlike a MacBook, which is a completely different ballgame. Foxconn has already had discussions with the Indian government. They’ve had a good experience so far and will likely double their production in the next few years to expand their portfolio to a few other products. Foxconn is trying to neutralise supply chain risks by relying on production facilities across different regions. Foxconn assembles MacBooks in Vietnam, which logs up to 10% of iPad production globally. Foxconn plans to leverage the production-linked incentives (PLI 2.0) for IT hardware, including tablets, offered by the Indian government. It may soon begin manufacturing AI servers at the Sriperumbudur plant and is in discussions with Google for manufacturing Pixel smartphones in the same facility. Previous Next

< Back Twitter CEO Dorsey launches messaging app Bitchat 10 Jul 2025 It is a decentralised, peer-to-peer communication app that operates exclusively on Bluetooth mesh networks, without the need for the internet. Twitter Founder Jack Dorsey’s latest product, Bitchat, is in the beta testing phase currently, with a live version available on TestFlight. The app does not need central servers, mobile numbers, email IDs or personal account creation to function. It facilitates encrypted messaging between nearby devices that form local Bluetooth clusters when users move around physically. These clusters direct the flow of messages between devices, enabling communication with users beyond a specific physical range, without relying on Wi-Fi or cellular service. ‘Bridge’ devices can connect overlapping clusters and expand the Bluetooth mesh over larger distances. Messages are relayed across devices, thus crossing a normal Bluetooth range. Messages are stored on devices and are deleted by default, without being sent to a central server, thus ensuring privacy. Users can create password-protected group chats, called Rooms, named using hashtags. Dorsey plans to add WiFi Direct for faster messaging in a future update.
