Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India's manufacturing and export laws.

Unfortunately, Apple's marketshare in India is tiny, so they can leave without too much loss.

Also, India is now the world's most populous country. :-(

That also means that there's still a huge potential for growth, before competitors reel in their potential customers. If they let other manufacturers divide the market among themselves, it may be harder to gain market share later.

Good, China needs to go down in flames. More and more tech is also moving their manufacturing to India.
