Apple hit $10B in sales in India despite pricing higher than USA

Agreed.. HTC made some good mobile phones back in the day.
As for Google pixel phones, I really like them because of their clean Android experience and no bloatware.
Enjoying mine as a good Samsung alternative

I miss OnePlus when Carl Pei was CEO, now he's doing Nothing, literally.

clarification regd why it is false (as one member tried to troll about) to say Apple has been fined 38 billion dollars already.
a) the litigation is ongoing, Apple has submitted its Indian revenue financials.
b) even the court disagrees with Apple regd the denominator that is to be used for the 10%:
"Apple has long argued the case should be paused because it is separately seeking to quash India's new antitrust penalty law that empowers the CCI to penalise companies on the basis of their global, not just Indian, turnover. Apple says the CCI had asked for global financial details, which could lead to a fine of up to $38 billion.
The CCI has repeatedly disagreed with that position, saying it only needed Apple's India financials to start with and the U.S. giant was trying to delay the case through a parallel court challenge. A judge last month told Apple to "cooperate"."
c) precedence here was nowhere near 38 billion (folks can look up google global revenue and apply 10% "theoretically" there themselves and compare with this final fine):
"In 2022, the CCI slapped a fine of $113 million on Google for using its "dominant position" to force app developers to use its in-app payment system. Google denied wrongdoing."
