Short answer by an Indian : Iphones are just too expensive that most of the Indians think they can buy a scooty + an Android phone in that price.

At iphone price you can buy both a motorbike and a decent smartphone in India. So simple.

The price of an iPhone X can buy landed property of 600sqm in Nigeria.

Omg, that wasn't even a phone shop. That was an electrical repair shop.

[komilajoshi]

7:58 you literally think that we Indians buy smartphones form that kind of a small shop....that's an electrical appliance repair shop

I literally have friends who get mocked when using an iPhone. They get criticism for show off and wasting money, rather than being recognised as a higher class. Lol, I am glad I live in india

6:00 "For most people the iPhone is simply too expensive"

There, saved you ten minutes

This guy has no idea how indian mobile phone shop looks. He literally showed an electric repairing shop in the name of mobile shop.

I would like to politely point out that decent phones are never sold in the kind of ‘workshop’ that has been shown here.

There was an Apple Store opened near my house. (Kinda posh area in a rich city). Less than 3 months later, it was shut down and now a shoe store has opened in its place.

I asked my friend who is Indian what phone she wanted, she said a Samsung and I asked why. She said the iPhone is ridiculously expensive to maintain as most things on the phone costs money, repairing it is costly and even accessories is expensive. She has done extensive self research on iPhone and saw how Samsung has all the features she needs and wants. The iphone is out of her parents budget and even if she were to buy it herself she wouldn't as she would rather buy a cost effective phone and still have money left for other things.

iPhone 12 so expensive that u can go to Dubai buy an iphone and come back to india, and then you will save 346 ruppees.

[qwersumme]

I love india for their point of view on internet and technology things ... Banning tik tok, and not buying apple crap. I really appreciate it 😂

[abhijeetshetty]

Foreigners : Show me indian
Indian : okay this is our oldest temple known as ....
Foriegners: no no only the slum part.

[GercoVNA]

It's overpriced and india doesn't have a dumb hype culture
