Apple starts building iPhone 6S in India to lower costs >Apple has started to manufacture iPhone 6S units in India in an effort to lower costs for the phone. The 6S joins the iPhone SE, which Apple began manufacturing in the country last year, according toThe Economic Times >Import costs saw a 15 to 20 percent increase due to tariffs from India’s government back in February. By building the devices in India, Apple hopes to be able to defray some of those costs to better compete in the Indian market. >According toTheEconomic Times, it’ll take some time for Apple to get manufacturing capacity up to speed, so the company will continue to import devices from outside the country, too. So Indian customers shouldn’t expect any price cuts — at least for now. theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/6/26/17506068/apple-iphone-6s-india-tariffs
Wait, hold the fuck up, I was told that tariffs didn't lead to companies manufacturing in the countries they sell shit in.

Uh user.....I think you're confused. Microshit and Goygle are run by pajeets, not Apple. We Apple people have superior white men who who run our company.

Remember fellas it's only bad when Apple opens a factory in India. >Samsung has production plants in India >Lenovo-Motorola plans to open production in India >nearly every well known tech company has outsourced powers in India including support and production/assembly being it hardware or software >Applel makes a factory to expand their presence in indian market >hahaha APOL BAD amirite
Oliver Myers
Dunno what you're talking about desu. I have an Android and I'm still getting updates.
But there has been demonstrable proof that Apple releases new iOS versions to slow down older phones, with no way to revert back to an older version.
Jackson Sanchez
Not that user but curious to see the proof as I haven't heard anything besides the "applel slows the phones because bad battery!!!" shit.
Charles Ramirez
This is a very old tactic by India. Their next step is to take over the factories and nationalize them. They did it to IBM in the '60s. Then they invited IBM back to run the factories in the '70s.

>companies keep moving factories to whatever has cheapest labor >it starts in china and moves to india >next is some dump country in africa >by the time it comes back to america we'll be venezuela tier
>Projecting this hard user, you seem to have forgotten that Android is the literal malware mobile OS, not iOS. You ever wonder why Goygle gave it away for free without any real rules for using it, or, you know, actually updating it and keeping it secure like any halfway decent OS? It was to harvest data from gullible sheep
Ryder Allen
way to go keeping up general posting quality yourself, buddy.
Why are you faggots so butthurt about what tech random strangers use? The fact you get so triggered really speaks volumes about how insecure you are. I use Apple products because I like them and I give zero fucks about other people's opinions.
James Gray
You mean: someone who is not immediately B& for being a ban evading shill?
I sincerely hope you're pretending to be retarded. How can you not know how to determine whether or not someone is samefagging? I'm not the person you've been replying to dipshit

looooool, Trump thought he would get any benefits by imposing tariffs on the chinese, now US companies will be investing in india... sad!

If you manufacture outside of India you pay taxes when shipping to India (aka the person importing to India has to pay extra).
If you manufacture inside India you're shipping from within India so no import tariff. By the way, Trump was totally right about India and their tariffs. They've been growing as a cheaper manufacturing hub than China, so they're cashing in on multinationals who moved there. Still cheaper I guess, but the point stands
Ryder Allen
Really made me think.
Daniel Walker
is this producing new 6s's or just re assembling refurbs to be sold as "new". Because the phones like 4 years old.
Connor Johnson
they cant' afford the X and 8 over there except a small percentage
it's the reason all these apps get LITE versions for india and shti because they have 8gb phones
Austin Hall
Because people would rather buy a $300 iPhone than a Oneshitone.
Matthew Davis
I don't think he has a job or a life. It's like he's always there ready to post shitty anti Apple bullshit. Who the fuck cares what tech a person uses? Life is pointless and every single one of you is going to die
Apple, as well as others are building in India because there's some sort of law that you can only sell shit to poos if you manufacture it there. That's the general gist of it. There's more to it than that but I'm just killing time on my phone and I'm not about to go looking up all the relevant articles.
>Apple starts building iPhone 6S in India to lower costs I bet they still find some way to increase the price despite the lower manufacturing cost and I bet the Apple Defense Force will be immediately trying to justify it.
Daniel Hernandez
How will he ever recover?
Henry Miller
How will pooPhone users ever recover?
Isaiah Lee
We did the same >cars needed to be built in the us using 75% american components to skirt 20 percent import tax
Which is why cars like Civic type R cost 5 grand more expensive than focus RS even tho the ferrrrd is an awd while civic is an fwd
>be me >switch from Android to iPhone after 7 years >it’s only been two weeks and I regret it already The main reason is because all the Jow Forums apps are shit compared to how great Clover was
>google gave it for free it uses linucs as a kernel, you can't sell it. Also, what mobile OS did you ever pay? does iOS have a price and i never noticed it?
