Why I Didn't Buy iPhone In India ?
1.Higher price($400 more) than USA.I will never pay higher price when it costs lower in other countries.Apple should learn from Oneplus.iPhone XS price in USA is $999(Rs. 69083.35) but in India it costs 1444.63 (Rs.99900). I mean WTF
2.Doesn't provide most services india like they do in USA
3.Bad customer support. (Service centers)

      More profits for Apple, same prices for you. Well, perhaps $15 of discount and sold to you as the new innovation era of Apple discounts.... cheaper phones! You saved $15!!! of a total.... $850-$1500. WoW

        Anonymous, 03 Apr 2019Exactly, even if its assembled locally at 20-30% lower cost... moreI don't think Apple will pocket the difference since their market is shrinking everytime they increase prices. If they could sell their mobiles at the same or little lesser than what is being sold in USA they can hope to increase their market share or increase in sales otherwise they will only end up making duds for nothing. I am more or less sure that Apple will reduce its prices substantially since they are being sold close to $1800-$2200 for their XS Max 512 GB....

                  It was said that Apple won't reduce the prices even if they are gonna get their devices manufactured in India! If that's true, no one can help Apple from dying its own death in India!

                    This company will never reduce its price. The goal is 100% profit. Apple iPhone sales says the story.

                      Almand, 03 Apr 2019Where did u get that info?It's Apple. If they reduce the price of an iPhone by 15 bucks (or let's say 1k INR in India money since that's the context here), it's a Black Friday-class deal. Apple has a groundbreaking 50$ off a 800$ smartwatch. Seriously that's literally the first news below this one. Now you want them, Apple, I repeat, Apple, to reduce the price by 20% instead of increasing their profits by the same amount?

                      He's basically saying water is wet. No source needed.

                          Prices will not go down even if sales decrease every year .they will try different ways to get that same profit from decreased sales by increasing prices. In the next few years they will release a 2000 USD phone.

                              Apple stated that while it will bring down costs, they won't decrease the prices of the phones sold in India. And they'll "use the increased margins for a better marketing campaign". Like.. How much more margin do you need?

                              In other words, greedy.

                                What many people really want to know is, will Apple make differentiation for the products made in different places, either in software and hardware?

                                  "local production should result in lower-priced iPhones in India compared to the current prices"

                                  DOUBT!!
