    Wouldnt be surprising if they just stop shipping the newer phones then. India isn’t the EU, most of their smartphones are cheap and low spec, most of their networks are terrible and small bump they’ve recently had is stil an incredibly small amount as a whole vs the rest of the Indian market.

      If most of India’s smartphones are cheap and low spec, then Apple’s only market is the older models. They will not be able to sell the newer models.
