9to5Mac reader João Menicucci recently bought an iPhone 13 in Brazil. To his surprise, the box said the product was "assembled in Brazil." The model number MLP3BR/A confirms that the device was indeed assembled in the country, as the device imported from China sold in Brazil has the identifier "BZ/A".

However, for some unknown reason, only the 6.1-inch iPhone 13 appears to be assembled at Foxconn Brazil in Jundiai, Sao Paulo. MacMagazine found that on January 24, 2022, Apple updated the documents for the iPhone 13 at ANATEL (Brazil's telecommunications regulator) to include Foxconn Brazil as the production base for the product. The documents also confirm that neither the iPhone 13 mini nor 13 Pro models will be assembled in Brazil.

Brazil slaps hefty taxes on imported products, including almost the entire line of Apple devices. For this reason, there are companies investing in local assembly operations. According to a recent report, Apple is also expected to start production of the iPhone 13 in India this month.
