Apple isn’t happy about India’s demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India’s manufacturing and export laws.
Apple’s marketshare in India is (1) tiny and (2) largely driven by older models. I know 2 people who have iPhones. I know 4 people who have Jiophones (Firefox OS).
