Apple will launch an online store in India
It seems that Apple has finally managed to solve its problems as a report by Pulomberg stated that Apple will finally open an online store in India. The Indian government was hindering Apple's efforts to spread in India due to the requirement that 30% of the foreign product sold be manufactured in India, but there is news that the Chinese government has finally been convinced that this percentage in products such as the iPhone is very difficult, so it will be reduced. Among the steps to reduce the restrictions, exports will be added as part of the 30%, meaning that this percentage (30%) will be measured in money and will include what Apple uses in the devices sold, as well as what it buys from Indian companies and exports to be used in other devices around the world.
