The iPhone 16 is here, and India pushes to make more chips

Mint Techcetra

The iPhone 16 has sparked conversations with its focus on Apple intelligence. In the latest episode of Mint Techcetra our hosts Leslie D'Monte and Shouvik Das note that while many premium models look similar, the integration of generative AI is now the key differentiator. Apple’s design strengths continue to give it an edge, especially as it reduces prices to stay competitive in price-sensitive markets like India. On the semiconductor front, India is making significant strides. Leslie has followed this industry for three decades and emphasizes the government's commitment to establishing chip fabs and attracting investments. With over 20 applications under consideration and partnerships with countries like the U.S. and Singapore, India's semiconductor journey is gaining momentum. It is an exciting time for technology in India as it blends hardware, software, and AI innovation, paving the way for a strong future in the industry.
