I wonder how Apple's shareholders would react if the company threw away a market that was worth $1.8bn in revenue in 2020.
Then there's China; 17% of Apple's global revenue, $43.7bn. I don't think shareholders would much appreciate that.
> the public in India would either put pressure on their government or buy iPhones via import websites
The iPhone had 2.97% market share in India in April 2021, down from a high of 3.54% in June 2020. I don't think the people who wanted to buy iPhones but couldn't would be able toput any significant amount of political pressure on politicians.
Rich people would just import them from somewhere else like they always have before, and everyone else would switch to some available Android phone that had the modifications that the government wanted.
