[deleted post]One - It does not have anything to do with Apple starting production in India.
Two - You are aware that almost all major OEMs have production units in India right?
Three - FYI this is a technology forum. Not Human Rights Watch. Go file your complaints there.

Beats sound dirty but they have more bass that Apple. On the other hand Apple sound clean but bass is weak. Choice is yours. If I were you I will skip them both and buy something else.

It is a step in the right direction but people need to see for what it is. Apple is a corporate and like any corporate the aim to get the maximum profit. India is pretty much the last major territory that Apple has not fully penetrated and by going down this route, they will get a foothold in a fast growing economy.
I don't buy into this statement that Apple will reduce their reliance on China because most of the components are likely to be coming from China anyway so any disruptions in China are going to impact the production lines regardless of where the final assembly takes place.

Apple then has to increase prices to recover those taxes. That's what some source tells me. I could be wrong tho. Idk

Trust some people to exploit a good news for their own country into hate-mongering for another country and its people. For those Indians who posted negative comments about Pakistan, your words reflect your own ignorance, hatred, and bigotry. Your comments certainly don’t belong on a technical forum like this one.

I tried my best to not comment on any political issue but these guys from Pakistan are jealous of India. I see them every other comment section of articles related to India. Shame on these people!

Anonymous, 05 Oct 2022cheap batteries are only in samsung phonesIt‘s a feature, if your Samsung phone is old enough (which is, 2 years), the battery automatically breaks its surrounding components, including the waterproofing seal of the back, so that you don’t have to guess if it’s time to replace it. Very convenient
If that‘s not obvious enough, it will expand so much that it shatters the glass back and cuts your fingers so that you can easily notice that it wants to be replaced now.

Anonymous, 05 Oct 2022It is a good move atleast from the projections. I hope this... moreThat's the sad part, the prices ain't gonna be low. Apple would just rake in all the profits. For example, you can see iPhone 13 price, it's still same. The bbd sale price is 650$ which should be the price even without sale as the phones are now manufactured in India.
It's all numbers game to attract customers but if you look into it everyone's making profit except customer as there never was any discount.

Will that result in cheaper retail prices?
