Apple loses three Indian executives as company struggles with iPhone sales
No. Cook isn't an idiot. And India is a developing nation. That isn't just a euphemism for third world. It literally is developing and is doing so at a staggering rate with a rapidly rising GDP and an educated middle class. You state illiteracy rates are over 70%, which would mean literacy is below 30%. Even in the worst performing Indian states it's roughly double that. Perhaps you meant literacy rates instead of illiteracy? Regardless, when you apply those percentages to India's population of over 1.3 billion, you still get a number - and a potential market - of many hundreds of millions.jcc said:Sorry but Apple will never do much business in India. Cook is an idiot. It’s a third world nation. You’d have as much luck getting Africans to buy Apple. India has little infrastructure, it has illiteracy rates of around 70%+, very low standards of living where a lot of people crap in the grass because there’s no plumbing, there’s probably more cows on the streets than cars. Seriously, it’s been like that for centuries and will probably take another century to get anywhere. People who bet on India will go broke before a turnaround. Cook just doesn’t understand. Westerners always think India can and will be like China. And that’s where they’re very wrong.
