True but apple sells luxury , or premium products. They don’t seem to care for poorer countries

  Yes, but China only became rich enough that lots of wealthy young Chinese could be buying iPhones recently. I do not think it would be unreasonable to make the same bet on India being a decade or two behind.

    Its not automatic. China took decades of policy and benefited from periods of global growth. India has different politics

      " benefited from periods of global growth" -> China had incredible post-2008 growth, that is a large part of why there are so many people buying iPhones. > India has different politics What do you mean? It's more inequitable than China and has more political capture by private actors, but I don't see why the same couldn't occur in India.

  While it might have been true at one time, this is not true anymore. A lot of their products are at price points that are not luxury.
