Does Apple state that the recycling policy applies to any phone irrespective of how many hands has been changed in the process? Would you be willing to buy a second hand refurbished phone from Apple if the recycling policy does not apply fo

I'm sure you have heard of Jaguar/Land Rover (the luxury car brand). Do you know who owns it? It is an Indian company called the "Tata Group". Tata Group acquired it from Ford Motors when the luxury brand was on the verg

If Apple can come with a solution for recycling these second hand phones I'm all ears. So far there is no word on that issue. We already have a lot of e-waste in the country as it is. Adding more to it will cause serious environmental

Being an Indian I can also get work outsourced to a developer in a foreign country without having to pay any duty. There are many companies in India that also employ foreign nationals. How can you compare import/export of physical good

The British also brought the Great Bengal Famine along with them. Funny how this 24/7 pressurized water could not prevent a famine in which millions died. And yes, the famine took place when India was still a colony of the British Empi

You can't compare Russia to India. India was welcoming to foreigners and integrated their cultures and traditions. It was the same Mughals and other regional rules who allowed the British to setup the "British East India Company&q

I really hate your argument too. India actually had trade routes all the way upto Britain until and after it was colonized. In fact there is no doubt that India would have taken part in Western industrialization looking at the attitude Indi

India is pro-modernism. It has nothing to do with cultural trust. We just don't want to take in Western culture into India because we believe our culture, tradition and identity, that has been inherited from our ancestors for over thou

I think it is definitely over-engineered. If it is a scare tactic to bring people to Apple repair centers why isn't this happening with other Apple products?

I disagree. How did you come to the conclusion that we don't need to fix this problem? Do you live in any developing country? We are already spending a good amount of money on building solar power grids. Some portion of that money will
