Apple’s earnings in India

Apple iPhone sales in India grew mainly due to two factors. First, Apple has taken a bullish approach to manufacturing high-end iPhone models in India in recent years.

While this hasn’t exactly translated into lower prices, it has managed to convince more buyers to buy the “Made in India” iPhone.

The second factor is aggressive discounts from sellers. Apple Authorized Retailer stores compete for the best discount deal on iPhone and other Apple products. They make the products more attractive in terms of value.

Apple’s iPhone SE with 5G also helped the company gain some revenue, but the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 accounted for the maximum sales, according to CMR India.
