AnonD-361638, 22 May 2016Hahaha.Give us link where u hv find this.Here are a couple talking about pricing in India. Indians favour cheap phones. That's why Samsung sells so many Galaxy Stars instead of Galaxy S. That's the difference between me and you. I try to use data. You use emotions.

    of course they will. apple has figured that they could make this phone for fraction of its current price as they are too expensive so this move is just a matter of time.

              If indians cannot afford iphone then why tim uncle came to india, is he requesting or begging indiantos buy their costly apples. We indians dont care about costly apple beacuse we are happy with our own indian brands like micromax,carbon etc. Dont forget that because of indian top brands like samsung and motorola in competition. We dont play dirty tricks like western companes, nokia was no.1 because of indian and motorola in game because of indians, people in india still have nokia mobiles because we dont care about cost we want quality product to which user can control not product which control users.

The vast majority sold, around 86%, are even lower. Less than $200US. Indians cannot afford high end phones right now. Indians stick to low end Samsungs and Micromax phones because that is what they can afford. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't try to misrepresent the facts on the ground.

                          Indianization? Good luck with that. Manipulating the people with such word to gain attention is the lowest thing Apple ever did. Gimmicky! I can't imagine Indian being able to buy iphone anyway. It is clearly not affordable at all for average indian. In India, the rich people is extremely rich and the poor people is extremely poor; some even homeless. There is almost no in-between class of people.

                            Apple is failing in China. Now they go for the last resort of India. Well, maybe they have more chance because India is not a communist country hahaaha

                              'Potential' a.k.a. opportunity to rip off another large population with overpriced toys.
                              This stinks of desperation.
                              The greed & apathy of the wealthy has finally caught up with them.
