Pretty much the only tech company that is UNIVERSALLY noted as a luxury tech brand. Samsung will never share that status since they cater mostly for the low to midrange market. Even their “Galaxy” brands aren’t purely high end either. To be associated with high end luxury they should just create a completely new sub-brand. Adding “S” to Galaxy is pointless.

Apple is a luxury tech company and continues to be a status symbol particularly in the developing countries. Fandroids can deny this all you want, the fact that you’re complaining about the cost just proves it’s highly desirable but out of reach for so many people hence they stick to budget androids.

They are reverse engineered lower cost options to the original, which is what China has been known for decades. Now India is the next destination for western countries looking for lower wages.

                OfficialTRider, 29 Oct 2023agree to disagree on the education part. If you think India... moreThose things you guys think as indian invention are built on those hardware like using computers made by other nation.
                Even all electronic devices are used hold some sort of licensing which can be read into the device itself, if you guys are literate to read those although.
                Then you will find all those patents, licensing effects how much.
                Invention ain't here in india.
                Go to any high quality city or a low level village and check the difference.
                How many technologies they use which were built by indians.
                Even chinese food and amercian food are made by indians but does that changes where it belong?
                You guys will not understand all those i said easily because you guys are brainwashed for now like i used to be and it will take time to change that type of thinking.
                All of you will speak mostly for paying just 1000 USD for a device by living into a 4 trillion USD as Nominal GDP market which means per capita around 3000 USD.
                India is nowhere near that level you guys are thinking.
                It may take 40 to 50 year to acheive that world dominance, just do the math.
                To overtake china nominal GDP, india need to grow at 10 percent every year from around 4 trillion and in 40 year india can touch 20 trillion USD.
                I know you guys are fine to be 5th, 4th, 3rd largest economy or whatever but the math ain't supporting that.
                Those who think USA as friend are fools to.
                That same USA did not liked india's nuclear testing is a friend, i don't think so.
                USA will use INDIA mostly for it's base in upcoming years for what?
                Watch those news you guys are watching mostly to stay brainwashed.
                I am not writing to every comment reply as it would take much time.
                And please guys try to not get offended.
                If my words harmed you then kindly try to forgive me.
                I am just debating, nothing else.
                Democracies needs debate, always or else becomes dystopia land.😅

                              India is cost effective that's why Apple choose india after china and gov trying to make it more cheaper and better than china and yes china will be no more cost effective place
                              There is skilled labour but they are very few but enough for companies like apple tesla samsung to manufacture and skilled will increase too
                              Education system is from colonial era and after independence gov make it more colonial but now gov is making changes in education and also focusing on skills that why promoting make in india pli
                              Those who leave go for better opportunity, money or quality life but it will not stop indias growth as india is highest growing economy
                              Factories in india have to comply with apple standards that's why Apple choose indus after china so stop saying anything ill
                              India care about quality , less cost and stopping people who don't like india to grow
                              Not just numbers it will attract companies andbindia is highest growing economy means people are earning more though it is less but it is fastest so wil overtake usa after china
                              If GDP grows itsgood
                              Per capita ppp is also increasing and by this reason china with 1.4 is ok for you
                              Invaders should bkane for their life but it will improve
                              Innovation rate is also increasing
                              You are blind or what india is fastest growing economy and that economy will also improve in the factors you said that what fast mean

                              Indus use to be highest GDP but after invasion is not but will become again

                              Those who know economy will not do stupidity
