Apple is not finding a path of roses in his next career for the Indian market. A few weeks ago a group of local manufacturers said the problem he faced when Apple announced its intention to flood the country with iPhone second hand market. Users would choose as it is evident by a device manufactured by Apple instead of one made by in the country with equal price.
The manufacturers of the country joined in a consortium and exposed his discomfort with the country’s Government to confirm or banned Apple intentions in the country. Although we did not know for certain the Government’s response, it seemed that Apple had all the losing. And finally it has been.
It is clear that Tim Cook for the India trip has not served to nothing. The country’s Government has just announced that Apple will sell iPhone second hand in the country confirming the suspicions of many media. The only option that could fit to Apple is partnering with resellers in the country so that they sell their devices in the country, the same resellers that currently sell the new devices of the company.
The ban on selling phones is motivated by the strict regulation of the country, where the priority for the Government is to help local companies and not to the foreign though they generate jobs, something very hard to find in the majority of countries and not have to go far to see it.
To this decision is added to the new problem which is facing Apple in the new Apple Store which the company intends to open in the country and where it will have to sell at least 30% of products manufactured in the country, something that will change the number of items and devices that the company may sell in the country.
