The Cost of repairing them is expensive as the components are themselves expensive like the main product due to tariffs. It is often a setback that leads many customers to prefer others than apple.

Well that’s like telling Gucci or Supreme to lower their prices to sell better. It completely removes the premium and luxurious feeling of having an iPhone since they’re not cheap. Also, if Apple prices their stuff cheaper in one region than another, it’s going to lead to a lot of issues as people will buy the iPhones at a cheaper cost there, and sell them for a slight markup in the more expensive regions, thus out competing Apple authorized retailers in those expensive regions. Let me give you an example. Windows 10 keys in the United States cost A LOT of money, easily $100 or more. However, if you go on sites like CDKEYS, you can find the same keys for like 1/10 the price, typically around $10. The reason being is that in China, the piracy rate for products there is 90%, so instead of people buying a Windows key for $100+, they could just pirate it. Windows decided to sell their keys in China for $10, which resulted in an increase in Windows key sales in China. However, that resulted in people buying a bunch of cheap Windows 10 keys in China, and reselling them at a slight mark-up in regions like the US, outcompeting Windows prices in that region. Now, so many people just buy Windows 10 keys from CDKEYS and other sites than directly from Windows because it’s so much cheaper. This situation could easily be repeated if Apple decided to sell their products for cheaper exclusively in India to raise sales. It’s either Apple lowers their prices for all regions in the world (which is highly unlikely) or not change prices at all, and try to think of other more creative solutions that doesn’t just involve reducing their prices.

@Drug Dealer Ftw The thing about the general high pricing of Apple products is because it's "a premium brand", and this applies to wherever Apple sells its products. But, the increasingly higher prices the farther you get from the US is because of taxes I think. That would explain why here in Europe it costs much more than in the US, and even more in India, which is even farther from the US and the shipping taxes are way higher too.

I know the Indian market. Indians are not against spending a lot of money for fancy things. There is as hugely wealthy middle class now. Apple can easily sell a 700 dollar phone there. That would be 49000 rupees, if they really wanted to force the matter, a 5 inch 600 dollar phone (throwing it close to 40000). This is not an issue, they are the premium brand with a lot of cache. But I think the biggest problem for Apple is that they haven't even made a convincing argument that they are the superior phone in India. There is a level of neglect towards India that frankly ensures their failure. They can blame it on the fact that Indians buy only phones which are cheap. But that's because even buying a far more expensive phone in the android world is not so differentiated. Buying an iPhone is a highly differentiating experience, the sad thing is that is differentiating for the worse and that's what Apple needs to fix. If apple is about selling the best, frankly their iPhone in India, particularly with regards to services is so far off the mark that it's embarrassing. I think these are the kinds of things that make Tim Cook look bad, how could he mishandle such an important market.

Well, Indians in general are very utilitarian in Nature (because of income, socio economic factors blah blah all that, Yes I know. The Statement is not intended to be judgemental towards them.) They are not the typical Westerners who have established themselves as Team Android or Team iOS. They look at value for money, and hence they adapt very easily from one established Tech ecosphere to another, if need be. And the need at the Moment is that previous Apple products owners have found their sweet Spots in other Brands like Huawei or Oppo or the likes. The middle Class who can afford expensive phones have also reached a "Semi Saturation" point with Smartphones, just like the Westerners. So there is also that factor. I can't state numbers, but only state opinions from people I know who are from India.

I don't think making iPhones cheaper is a solution for India. Firstly, 90% of the buyers of iPhones in India buy it because of the high price tag. In a country where there is huge disparity in wealth, iPhone is the easiest way to show that you are rich. Secondly, Apple won't be able to compete with the Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Oppos in the low cost market. Apple needs to innovate more and faster. Most of the features come to iPhones years after they are introduced on Android phones. Because of this, they are losing market share not just in India, but everywhere.

Apple has never really catered itself to anything other than Western market's. They've had phones out for more than a decade and only start giving a hoot in India and China when their sales peak and start to pivot? While almost every Android OEM under the sun has taken years of investment, patience and marketing on establishing a presence in countries not even mentioned in Apple keynote availablity rollout lists? I think this reaction from Apple is duly deserved. I simple can't fathom how markets like China and India and entire regions like Africa and South America get overlooked when sales are hunky dory in the States and Europe but all of a sudden take priority when they reach saturation point in those respective markets.

Larry N ----- You don't know how to count dude. People who say such things are moronic. Apple sales in the supposedly bad last quarter were 84 billion, second biggest all time. If we look at EPS (a measure of profits by investors) they had an all-time high up 7% from last year. Oooops Larry, you made a very big boo boo. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, they have 120 billion in net cash on the balance sheet. China is a big important market to many smartphone companies. Proof of that is Samsung was down 13% last quarter and 22% the quarter before due to softness in China. Apple was down 5% in revenue. Who do you like if China goes into an extended slump? Apple who has 120 billion in cash, or Samsung Electronics who has far less. With that much cash Apple can hang in there for 2 decades or more. By the way in this last quarter Apple will add to their cash pile with another 22 billion or so. Damn Larry you don't know anything about toast.

Ecosystem! Apple's secret sauce is the presence of their impressive walled garden. It's often what makes people aspire to own their products (even if they are somewhat out of reach). Unfortunately, India's 'wall' is still taller. Great video.

Was waiting for this one. Few more things that could have been added. Although majority in India own budget smartphones under 200$ the premium smartphone space is also occupied by OnePlus that offer great value for money. I have many friends who own an iPhone especially older models like the 6, but they are plenty happy with it and the usage has increased since the battery replacement program. Apple in India works so strange and it's starting to pay the price for it.

It’s the same here in my country, ~16% higher price range than normal,base model iPhone XS Max cost around $1300 if converted to usd.

Nadeem Shaikh You can never predict what a company is capable of

Companies don't stay on top for long if they saturate the market with no innovations for years. The only way out is reaching out to more customers. Says a lot about Apple's strategy if they are looking to expand into India. Apple has lost it's way in India but they can surely get it done with the 30% purchases if they want to. Besides the purchasing power of India is only going to increase in the future, I see little reason not to do it already.

Very informative and straight to the point

Most people in India have feature phones that don't have all the features of a Smartphone but still allow for web browsing and some music streaming.

The views that you presented were quite accurate. Also buying an iPhone does not make any sense in India as the price we pay for the features it offers is very high. Other companies provide better value for money than any Apple products. NO. Apple will not make a cheaper iPhone and NO Apple cannot make it big in Indian market. Even if Apple made a cheaper iPhone, it would still be expensive compared to it's competitors and other brands simply provide more value for money that Apple will ever will in it's entire lifetime.

The specs don’t matter in an apple product,that is why the iPhone se 2020 is as fast as the galaxy s20 and that is why the iPhone 13 is more faster than the s21 ultra and has better camera because what matters in apple products is the optimisation between the hardware and software and by the way all the stupid Chinese companies like Xiaomi realme and oneplus sucks and are laggy because for whatever reason Indians never consider that he iPhone is WORTH the money instead of buying a stupid oneplus Xiaomi or realme or oneplus or a Vivo (I’m Indian too)

When you can but 3-4 one plus smartphone for a whole family, why you will buy an iphone. That is your answer. BTW One plus is most popular premium smartphone brand here.

Very informative video... loved it.

From years I have seen the App Store not showing ads to me when I open it with my iPad Pro, but recently, the Ads started to appear... I don't know if this is a big change or not lol

In India, I bought an iPhone7 in 2020 which coated me US$364 (₹27,000). Now, one year later, the screen cracked and screen replacement cost as per Apple service centre is US$270 (₹20,000). That's a big issue with Apple in Great India.

This topic needs a update...

That make sense why apple moved factories to India from China

There are no Apple stores in Lithuania too. Only ASPs. (Authorized Serviced Providers) But closest ASP is iDeal.

Apple needs to decide what company they want to be. If they want to stay in premium and super premium market for their iPhones, they will be essentially priced out of 3/4 of the global market as Chinese manufacturers are flooding markets with cheap and pretty good smartphones. Then Apple won't be able to grow their service revenues as they can only sell so much services in the very competitive western markets. If Apple wants to become a service company (as Tim Cook and others have stated so many times in the past year alone), they need to democratize the prices for their iPhone lineup and release a whole subset of budget iPhones that can have a chance to compete on face value. But Apple wants to be both premium market leader and service leader, which, I am afraid, won't be easy to achieve. Their pathetic attempts so far to open their services to non-Apple devices (like opening Apple music to Alexas and iTunes videos to Samsung TVs) is not near enough, as neither Apple Music, nor iTunes are competitive in their own right and can only now sustain themselves as is n the closed Apple ecosystem.

If apple make phones in india then they can avoid tarif and also material costs..

Excellent analysis.

From 2021 you can order online from apple website in India. and also there are a lot of apple authorized stores.
