A fire at Tata's iPhone factory in India has led to its indefinite closure, which may force Apple to move iPhone orders back to China. The factory produced iPhone back panels for both Tata and Foxconn, with an estimated production shortfall of up to 15%, or 1.5 million devices. Although Apple typically holds eight weeks' worth of back panels in stock, the company may need its suppliers in China to add extra shifts or new production lines to make up for the loss of the factory, as the festive season in India runs from October to early November.
