Moreover, Tim Cook said, the company was planning to establish the business in India and had set a quarterly record in India where its business “grew very strong, double digits year-over-year”.

Apple’s Big India Push

Over the last few years, Apple has made India a priority market. Not only for selling its products but also to establish the product assembling market there.

Foxconn, the biggest electronic manufacturing product company, assembles multiple phones in the country and billions of dollars’ worth of iPhones were exported from India.

Hence, it was a great retail push, first with the online store and then two offline stores. Tim Cook told investors, “Over time, we have been expanding our operations there to serve more customers, and three years ago, we launched the Apple store online”.

Recently, “we have launched two more stores, just a few weeks ago, and they are off to a great start, one in Mumbai and one in Dehli”.

Apple has shown its quarterly result, which had a revenue of $94.3 billion, which is 3% less compared to 2022.

While presenting his views, he was very hopeful that” we can convince some number of them to buy an iPhone and we will see how that works out”.

On the other hand, Tom Cook accepted that ARPUs are lower in India whether you are talking about music, TV, or movie streaming, the ARPUs are much lower in India than other regions, “if you look at it over a long arc of time, I think there is a good opportunity across the board”.
