    That doesn't mean that workers are herded or forced to work longer hours at the company's whims.

            Funny thing, Apple never adjusts the price of "Made in India" units even after saving money on the import taxes. They didn't do it for iPhone 11, SE 2020, 12 Mini & 12. So they won't be doing it for these models. The pricing of the Pro models need to be aggressively adjusted so as it make them affordable for the Indians. If the price of the 13 Pro & Pro Max came down by 20K at every storage variant, they would gain quite an upper hand over the S22 Ultra models. But Apple being Apple won't do it.

                  Don't expect lower prices please. Instead increased profit for Apple.

For the moment, India is not quite the greatest Country in the world, but i doubt, that the workers would be handelt the way the comunists did. They would probably be paied less, tough...

Dont want to be rude but apple is doing ever... moreI don't know from which country you came, but in my country (Central European country), iPhone 13 cost 820 EUR new for the base model, and it can go as low as 750EUR for "as good as new" one (something like open box, used for couple of days one).
                        Of course, they are still expensive, but stop overexaggerating things like 1200EUR or whatever for one. Especially nowadays, when even a company like Xiaomi wants 1000+ EUR for their models. And they are 2 years phones maximum.
                        Not to mention, their reselling value is the worse that can be. In my country you can get a 1 year old Mi 11 with as low as 350EUR (with 12 months still remaining warranty). And that phone cost 900 EUR at launch. Lol.

                          Atlast the pricing will be cheaper.. but mind you.. only during sales… last year the iphone 12s were dropped to half the launch price

                              And they sell ip13 at very high price, earn more profit with this lower QC.

                                and probably sell them for the same price, since people were willing to pay the first price why change it then?

                                  How typical.
                                  Dont want to be rude but apple is doing everything in its possibilities to redzuce costs of construction as much as possible but also increase cost of final products sold to various vendors across the world.
                                  How typical.
                                  Great idea making phone for 150 like Apple SE 2022 and selling it for 600.
                                  Same for Iphone 13 were costs are around 400 but phone is sold for much over 900.
                                  At certain vendors even for 1200 up to 1500.

                                    atleast the locals will get jobs..!
