They want to increase their market share in India, but they're not willing to produce a cheaper phone for that, so they're asking for special treatment. Why should Apple get special treatment that others don't get in India? What is so magical about Apple that they should get this preferential treatment?
It's funny, HN seems to be against corporate sweetheart deals, and loves stories about exposing corruption. But not against Apple! No, we'll not hear a word against those guys - they're special! Hell, when the recent Apple v FBI story broke, people here were talking about this 'the most valuable company on the planet' like it was the scrappy underdog, rather than the behemoth of industry it is.
So... why does that mean that they should get special exemption from a general law?

If the law changes to allow it, then it won't be "special treatment". What's so special about a random law that much be preserved for eternity? >It's funny, HN seems to be against corporate sweetheart deals, and loves stories about exposing corruption. Wanting / Asking to sell second-hand phones is corruption how?
