Apple now makes iPhone 6s locally in India

26 June 2018
It started making iPhone SE back in February and is looking to add more models. This is due to 20% import duty on smartphones.

suarez92, 27 Jun 2018That Iphone 6s which you said is worth 1 euro is faster and... moreYou don't say? Iphone 6 has nothing on Nokia 8 or samesung s9. Actually iphone 10 struggle to show better performance (that actually matters and also justify's the price) in front of nokia 8. Let's take a look https://youtu.be/7LEPhQ1b8qE

    Lol locally produce to avoid higher prices, but no price cuts are for 6s, grest logic Apple, milking working very well

                hal7001, 27 Jun 2018Then whats the point of manufacturing the devices in India?They can make more profits that way. Apple phones are meant for affluent customers willing to pay for such devices.

                  sr777, 27 Jun 2018You can buy new hardware for same price. New phones have be... moreI dont know if you follow apple OS updates history or not (judging by your comment you dont), iPhone 5s is getting latest OS 12 after 4+ years of release. So based on that iPhone 6s should get minimum 2 more years of OS updates if not more.
                  And 6s is available in India for around 35K and similarly priced Android alternatives are OP6, Honor 10, Galaxy S8 and these alternatives too might get maximum of 2 OS updates that too very late after google releases.
                  I am not saying 6s is best over other choices mentioned above but surely is a very competitive alternative and good choice for people who like iOS and 6s bought new in 2018 should last them next 3-4 years with maybe a battery replacement in between.

So yeah, fo... moreThat Iphone 6s which you said is worth 1 euro is faster and better than some 2016 and 2017 Android flagship phones. I use it as a backup phone, while I use Mate 10 Pro as a main phone, mainly because of battery life.

                        For those who worry about updates should know that iPhone 5s , released in 2013 will get iOS 12 ( 5 years after it's release). iOS is so optimised that it works well with old phones as well ( other way to look is hardware is optimised for at least 5 years updates).
                        iPhone 6s will get at least 1 more update, in worst case, after iOS 12. This means it can go on for another 2 years at least. Performance wise iPhones have never been problematic.6s is still 'young' compares to 5s.
                        This is the reason, though being an old phone, it still costs high.
                        Indians will buy this for two reasons:
                        - iPhone performance is uncompromised, though an old system
                        - affordable price tag ( compared to new iPhones) for such system.

                        And above all, iPhone is still a status symbol for many Indians. Simple - an iPhone is an iPhone, no other can replace.

                          You can buy new hardware for same price. New phones have better camera and will get updates for another two or three years. If you buy a 6s, a 2015 model, do you think it will get updates for another two years?

I've tried s8 and s9 and you know... there's not so big difference. Probably I'm gonna upgrade when s10 will comes out but definitely I don't feel that my phone would be old or outdated. Personally I don't see reason to change phone every year nowadays.

                              Wow, So apple wants to make phones in India (not to reduce prices) but to increase their profit margins...

                              I think people are to be blamed , actually, for letting a company sell old tech at competitive prices...2.5 years after its release...

                              Switched to oneplus this year and couldn't be happier...the price to feature ratio is quite even with oneplus..

                                Apple has to cut down price half of what they asking. Then only they can survive in india. Overpriced brand shit

                                    Even older Android phones works well, why should all people buy the newest phones when the older cheaper ones are available and work?

For how apple products advance, one has to be dumb to buy them at full price.

                                        This is really surprising to see that the Phones were released back in 2015 are still up in the Production and people still have interest to purchase an old tech...

                                        While none of the 2015 Android Phones are still alive in for production...
