'Proud and thrilled': Actor R Madhavan on buying 'Made in India' iPhone 15

Actor R. Madhavan has purchased an iPhone 15, which is the first model to be assembled in India. He shared a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, expressing his pride in owning a "Made in India" iPhone.

“Got it. Proud and thrilled to own the MADE IN INDIA IPHONE 15,” he wrote on X. Madhavan appears to have picked the pink variant of the device, which comes in five different colours: black, blue, pink, green, and yellow. The '3 Idiots' actor also included three Indian flag emojis in his post along with a photo of his new pink iPhone 15.

Since being shared, the post garnered huge likes and comments on his post. A lot of users highlighted the fact that iPhone 15 is just assembled, not made, in India.

For the unversed, only the non-Pro models are being assembled in India, which may explain Madhavan's decision to purchase the basic model instead of the high-end Pro models.

"Apple iPhone is the best thing you can get for yourself 🙌," a user commented. Another one wrote,"i am not a fan of iphone, but i feel so proud of the fact that we get it from here now #MakeInIndia" A third user wrote, "Super one for the superstar. #MakeInIndia is on the right track for sure. A lot more to do for the future prospects. But, #iPhone15 assembled here is a great moment for us as well." "This flagship is made in India but why price is not reduced! #justasking," a fourth user added.

"Should have bought 15Pro," added another person.  "Assembled.. Hopefully made in India soon.," commented a user. Another user added, "That's Assembled Sir.. Don't be over proud."
