Why Apple Lags Behind Samsung And Xiaomi In India

Published

on



In the last quarter of 2018, Apple reported selling close to 47 million iPhones worldwide. But the tech giant is still struggling to make a dent in India, where high import duties and price-sensitive consumers have translated to languid sales.

It’s been over a decade since Apple began selling iPhones in India, but the company is still struggling to make a dent in the world’s second-largest smartphone market.

According to data from research firm Counterpoint, Samsung and Xiaomi accounted for the majority of smartphone sales in India in the third quarter of 2018, garnering 22 percent and 27 percent of the smartphone market, respectively.

In contrast, Apple made up only about one percent of India’s smartphone market share, trailing behind Chinese phone makers Vivo and Oppo.

Watch the video to learn why Apple is struggling to reach one of the fastest growing smartphone markets in the world.

    The reality is most of the Indian's can't afford I-Phone. I am an indian and i use a Samsung phone.

    Apple seems to be a premium brand and would not want to feel they are lowering their product standards in some certain market. India is a price sensitive market with countries such as Chinese manufacturers flooding the market with phones that are of premium quality yet more than half of the price. Also the regulatory issues with the ownership of retail stores that can be used to help bring Apple phones closer to the people too is not there, this would limit but the marketing, sales and distribution of Apple phones in India. Finally, I am not sure Apple thought about their strategy for the Indian market before coming in, knowing fully well the GDP of India in relations to Income of households, how would they expect to be successful in this market?

    Majority of indians are poor and have a very little income.

  6. @preetshah0711

    January 10, 2024 at 4:35 pm

    Let me summarize the whole video… The reason for Apple not selling in India is that most of the Indian population cannot afford or do not prefer to spend the whole/ half of their monthly income on a phone. Also, Indian Tax rules allow a very high import duty on Apple devices coz they aren't manufactured in India. Many Chinese and Korean manufacturers understood the Indian market because of the similar population and economic factors, but Apple is still not able to understand the Indian market properly. The reason Samsung and other Chinese brands provide similar features that look like Apple for a relatively low price is that they know that the Indian population is large if they sell a phone for cheap, a majority will buy it, but still, they can make a profit. Apple doesn't want to lose its exclusivity. The reason iPhone is so common in the US is that the avg. income in the US is much higher than in India. That doesn't mean that iPhone is bad.
    If Maruti(a local car seller) sells better in India than Mercedes, doesn't mean that Maruti is parred at Mercedes, but still at a fraction of its price. It is our stupidity that we think these products are overpriced. And what can we complain about, Samsung and Xiaomi are selling their premium phones at the price of Apple. And it is not proven by any means that the cheap latest Samsung has capabilities like an iPhone.

    Apple is very expensive brands as it was necessity and luxury brand, so that's why it is hard to buy in the country of India. But also, Philippines is also a Hard time buying apple as only people sacrifice to buy for their needs even for family needs than the Rich People as very miserable as all😢

  16. @SonicVelocity_

    January 10, 2024 at 4:35 pm

    Comparing Spec by Spec is a bad idea because Apple uses the resources really well because Apple builds the software and the hardware so 3 GB of RAM is more than enough for an iPhone and equal to 8 GB of RAM on Android
    Also, you can't just look at the Megapixels of a Camera and say "oh this iPhone has a 12 MP Camera but this Samsung has 64 MP, so obviously Samsung is better" this is wrong thinking because Apple has brilliant image processing that MP Don't Matter that much
    And also the A15 Bionic is the World's Most Powerful Smartphone Chip, and this has no place for argument, just look at the numbers and see the power for yourself
    Also Some Android phones ship with Bloatware and has ads baked into the software

    The most simple ans is average salary is very low and most of India is not rich enough to think it’s worth the price 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Indian : India has a strong IT sector and they know how much a phone should cost.

    Japanese : Oh wow really? But…
    American : Don't even bother arguing. They discovered internet 5000 years ago.
    Chinese : They are hostile but rely on us at the same time. Amazing facts!

    Rest of the world : Wait till they edit the facts on wikipedia.

    January 10, 2024 at 4:35 pm

    See, can I afford an i-phone? yes. But will I do that? no. The thing is, one should not find their identity in being a consumer. Any phone with good features that serves the purpose is good enough. Being a sensible buyer is way better than drowning in unnecessary materialistic greed day after day.

  32. @akhilk111

    January 10, 2024 at 4:35 pm

    Apple doesn't make phones for poor people (and no, the iPhone SE doesn't count). Just paraphrasing what Tim Cook said in that interview. It would hurt their "brand equity". Apple doesn't need Indians to be successful, clearly.

  33. @hass0074

    iPhone runs easily for 3-4 years with constant new software updates supported for previous models also.

    Samsung worst product and after-sales and service fully proud and pathetic Samsung services. Samsung big cheatter. I'm using 10 years Samsung product 22 I end buying Samsung's products. Samsung support team is professional. They are very rude not season customers issue. 2021 I purchased an s20fe phone after purchasing overheating and restarting I visited 68 time Samsung service services they never did the repair I had worst experience from Samsung if compare Chinese product far better redmi oppo one plus they provide better service

  35. @henry5854

    I can easily afford a flagship phone from Apple but I prefer Samsung flagships cause I feel Samsung is a better option when it comes to all over features.

AI’s Next Race: Cost, Control, and Compute

Published

By



The AI race is shifting from who has the biggest model to who can run, control and deploy AI most effectively.

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas joins to discuss the company’s new orchestrator model, why he’s building on open-source Chinese AI, and his argument that “token value per watt” may decide the next phase of competition.

Then, Benchmark general partner Peter Fenton and Ollama CEO Jeff Morgan discuss the rise of open models, why enterprises are increasingly running models they can download and control, and what Ollama’s growth says about where the AI ecosystem is heading.

Together, the conversations get at one big question: in AI’s next race, will the winners be defined less by model access and more by cost, control and compute?

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is floating major revisions to the central bank’s approach to assets, productivity, data, inflation and public communications. To achieve this, Warsh has created 5 “task forces” while soliciting interest from individuals outside of the Fed. This presents an opportunity for a small unelected group to influence the broader U.S. economy and value of U.S. dollars circulating globally. CNBC’s Matt Peterson reports.
