Apple isn’t happy about India’s demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India’s manufacturing and export laws.

    There’s a fad in India that having an iPhone makes you a sophisticated person.

    I have colleagues who’ve spent more than a whole month’s salary over it. They all use WhatsApp instead of Apple Messages, put on a ₹100 cover they got by bargaining at the railway station they commute to everyday for 2 hours, can’t afford the wireless charger, and every 3rd person seems to have one - idk what’s sophisticated about such an unexclusive device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
