Original title: Apple plans to assemble IPHONE SE
in Brazil in 2020
Apple released the 2020 version of iPhone SE last week, and now potential buyers can pre-order this smartphone in more than 40 countries. Although this smartphone is not yet available in Brazil, the 2020 iPhone SE may enter the Brazilian market in the next few weeks. Even more surprising is that news indicates that Apple plans to assemble the new iPhone SE in Brazil.
After the official release of the new iPhone SE, some iPhone photos appeared on Apple's Brazil website. On the back of the phone, it says Industria Brasileira. These marks are usually on products manufactured or assembled in Brazil.
So far, this picture can no longer be seen on the Apple Brazil website. Nevertheless, the certification process of iPhone SE in Brazil in 2020 has been completed. Foxconn Brazil is one of the production units of this product. The company has a manufacturing plant in Jundiai, Sao Paulo.
However, this is not the first time the iPhone has been assembled in Brazil. Apple often assembles some products through Brazil's Foxconn, such as the iPhone XR, to lower prices in the local market. Since the iPhone SE is a cheap model, Apple may choose to reassemble it in Brazil.
The reason is assembled in Brazil is very clear. Brazil imposes high tariffs on imported products, including almost all Apple devices. Therefore, some companies invest in the local assembly process because this can reduce the taxes paid for selling these products. The iPhone SE model sold in Brazil is A2296, which is the same as Europe and Australia
