India - national income per capita 2015-2020 | Statista
India’s per capita net national income or NNI was around 135 thousand rupees in financial year 2020.www.statista.com
135k rupee = 1800 bucks. 150 bucks a month. cheapest iphone se 2 cost 400 to start. thats 3 months of salary. if thats my salary buying a iphone would be the bottom of the list.
It’s a shame they won’t make phones in the USA. You can make up all the excuses you want, but we are talking about a $2 trillion company - they could make it happen.
How about giving back to the country that made them this successful? Pay your taxes and create jobs making phones here. It is crazy that people think that is too much to ask.

If it was possible, it would have already been done.
its the opposite, how many rich people means nothing, its how many middle class that counts.Per capita means nothing. India has plenty of rich people.
I'm with you. I've accepted that manufacturing will just never be a thing here (maybe at all the way things keep going...) like it is in China and now India here soon it's looking like. Not because it can't be done, but because these companies are so damn greedy when it comes to their profits. I was talking about this with someone just today actually, how Apple has all the money in the world but will only spend the bare minimum on R&D and true innovation because they know they have the ecosystem going for them. Why upgrade your products in any meaningful way when you know you've got customers you're holding hostage in your ecosystem? They're not going to leave, because they can't... Or at least can't easily, so Apple knows they can get away with trivial minor updates to their core products and services because what are people going to do, leave? Lol yeah, not likely. Those blue bubbles and the ability to FaceTime got us GOOD. It's pretty much the only reason I'm still with Apple tbh, and they know that to be true for a large portion of their customer base, which is exactly what they wantIt’s a shame they won’t make phones in the USA.

But is that just units? If China and India mostly buy SE2s and such and US buys current cycle Pros at $1k+ a pop, units won't matter as much." India is also the world's second-largest smartphone market..."
China is first.
India is second.
USA is third.
No wonder Apple is so keen on selling its products to China and to India.

i guess everyone but us have that "craftsman" experience 😂Wait, if they can be made in India … why can't they be made here?
Tim said China was unique because of some kind of "craftsman" experience or another … how did it spring up in India and not the USA?
No, I meant rich as in able to afford iPhone...not rich like you’re thinking. The fact there are many poor people is irrelevant.its the opposite, how many rich people means nothing, its how many middle class that counts.
Well, considering how low the minimum wage is in the US, now that it is great again, it actually makes sense.It’s a shame they won’t make phones in the USA. You can make up all the excuses you want, but we are talking about a $2 trillion company - they could make it happen.

Thy can do that but, many consumers will not pay the price increase (which could mean $100 - $300 more) of the iPhone to make that happen. That would cut into Apple’s profit margin.It’s a shame they won’t make phones in the USA.

The West? Like the West of China? 😂😂😂So nice of them to support manufacturing in the west.
