@Maestro64 - You are such a troll. US is the 2nd largest polluter in the world, so no, India is not being allowed to pollute while US reduces carbon emissions. The entire world needs to reduce its carbon footprint and with US being the 2nd largest, it also needs to do the same. Reducing the price of iPhone and selling it in a country where people can't afford to buy them at their current price is smart. It doesn't devalue the brand. You are quite ignorant to say things like "Why doesn't India figure out ways for people can make more money". If India did that, then the goods you buy in US, like clothes that are made in India, will cost higher. Are you willing to pay 2x or 10x the price you pay for your clothes just so someone else in another country can buy their iPhones? I bet most of the Americans would not want that!

China pollutes at twice the amount of the US.

Your point being?

China isn't the one that is backing away from efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, US is. Countries like China and India are actually on track to exceed their goals that were set out in the Paris agreement.

The Paris Agreement was a toothless document. If the US was to seriously commit to such an agreement it would have to originate in Congress. The President doesn't create US laws. The whole thing was a poser-fest.

And so whats the point of backing out of a voluntary ("poser") agreement? - That is something the President did, not Congress.
