More Than Just New iPhones, Apple Accelerated India Focus With Made In India And The Online Store

News 18  

“Oh, its Apple, they’ll launch phones once a year and a few iPads and Macs and that’s it”. Five new iPhones, three iPad refreshes, MacBook Pro 13 and the MacBook Air getting two updates in the year, the gorgeous iMac 27-inch, two family lines of the Apple Watch, the HomePod Mini and well, the super expensive and super attractive AirPods Max headphones. It was in H2 2020 that India finally joined the list of 37 other countries, as the virtual doors opened for the Apple India Online Store. The standardization of experience will mean a customer buying something on the Apple online store in the UK will get the same sort of experience as Apple India online store users. That could help Apple price the iPhone 12 phones more aggressively, something we saw with the iPhone XR and the iPhone 11 once the manufacturing in India started.
