Wrapping up…
The Indian smartphone market has been growing at a rapid pace. Even though the iPhone sales have manifold in India, it’s still quite low at 7%. While it’s always going to be challenging for Apple to have a lion’s market share in a country where most buyers are budget-minded, there is plenty of room for improvement.
Despite manufacturing millions of iPhones in India, the Cupertino giant has failed to offer the smartphones at a reduced price. As a result, smartphones are unable to have a decisive impact in the mid-flagship segment. For inspiration in this aspect, the tech giant should take a leaf out of Samsung’s book. High pricing aside, the incorporation of features that appeal to Indian consumers can go a long way in making iPhones grab a more dominating share in the country.
