Idiot is missing the sweet Apple money!

India may have balked at Apple official refurbished products there are nations with huge populations like Indonesia,Pakistan and Bangladesh that may get Apple 30-50 million more customers,as low value as they may be.This might give way to more Apple subscription revenue .For example Apple still has no App Store region for Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Apple should sell refurbished products in other nations like Indonesia,Pakistan and Bangladesh and offer 3-4 years of security updates to iOS devices not getting newer OSes. They should also improve presence in poorer nations like Africa and South East Asia. 

Ugh! Where do you think the millions of traded in iPhones go?

Apple always provides updates, security and otherwise, to older phones for many, many years after they stop selling.

What presence would you like Apple to have in those nations?. Huge Apple stores for no customers?! Apple products are attainable anywhere in the world through one form of distribution or another.

Apples official presence in south east Asia is not strong. Although there are plenty of devices in the gray market having access to official refurbished products will get more switchers in poorer regions in the world

Isnt it obvious that Apple faces competition in all sectors in operates in?
