Foxconn has reportedly increased its manufacturing output to about 4,00,000 units every week, but at that rate, Apple will still be unable to fulfil the demands for the iPhone X.

Apple’s much awaited smartphone — iPhone X is off to a great start. The smartphone went on pre-orders in India starting Friday at 12:30 PM on e-commerce website Flipkart and Amazon and is already out of stock. The device is selling at a price of Rs 89,000 for the 64GB variant, while the 256GB variant is priced at Rs 1,02,000.
