Apple: Our overpriced products are not doing well in price conscious market like India!
Tim Cook: Lets build bigger franchise stores to tackle the problem.
Apple: What about Apple Ecosystem like Maps, Siri in India?

THere has been a report that Indians will get Apple Maps by 2020. However until Tim puts down his Apple tinted glasses and looks at the competitor pricing Apple is doomed to fail in India. Samsung has Samsung Pay, dual SIM slots, their own experience stores in addition to being almost half price of Apple. They even have their own trade-in program. Until Apple steps up its game in multiple respects they are doomed to fail. The fact that they are eliminating discounts and building stores as a solution shows how out of touch Apple is.
