Unfortunately, Apple’s marketshare in India is tiny, so they can leave without too much loss.
Also, India is now the world’s most populous country. :-(
Comment on Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C
Mamertine@lemmy.world 11 months agoIf this were a small country, yes that is what would happen. In the second most populous country, I suspect that’s too huge of a market to just accept as a loss.
Once a customer leaves the apple ecosystem they’re unlikely to return to it. So they would lose those customers forever.

That also means that there’s still a huge potential for growth, before competitors reel in their potential customers. If they let other manufacturers divide the market among themselves, it may be harder to gain market share later.

Good, China needs to go down in flames. More and more tech is also moving their manufacturing to India.

Fun fact for the day: India overtook China as the most populous country at the beginning of this year.
