The organization intends to open its first physical retail store in the country in the not so distant future.
For many years, due to its costly prices, Apple has struggled to sell its handsets in India. Most cell phones that are transported in India are valued between Dollars 100 to 200.

AirPods Max, also, is evaluated at Dollar 815 in India, contrasted with Dollar 549 in the U.S.
"Dissimilar to most unfamiliar firms that offer their items and administrations free of charge in India or at a portion of the world's least expensive costs, Apple has zeroed in all together on a little part of the populace that can stand to pay gobs of cash," said Jayanth Kolla, chief analyst at Convergence Catalyst, told TechCrunch.
This isn't to imply that Apple has not rolled out certain improvements to its valuation methodology for India. The month to month cost of Apple Music is Dollar 1.35 in India, contrasted with Dollar 9.99 in the U.S. Whereas, the Apple One pack, which incorporates Apple Music, TV+, Arcade and iCloud, costs Dollar 2.65 every month in India.
