You don't buy App Store apps from the Apple store, you buy hardware, so that's not relevant.
Though if Indian programmers had contributed to the software that comes preinstalled on the products sold there, I wonder what would happen. Does "locally sourced" only apply to physical manufacturing?

I wasn't thinking about this correctly. > Though if Indian programmers had contributed to the software that comes preinstalled on the products sold there, I wonder what would happen. Does "locally sourced" only apply to physical manufacturing? A very good question. How much should the software count towards what something is compared to the hardware, and how much would Apple value iOS compared to the hardware design of a new iPhone. I imagine traditionally it would be quite a bit more, but Apple also invested in a foundry and produces their own chips, so that definitely increases the hardware side valuation.
