Apple is opening an online retail store in India in 2020. Due to the new crown epidemic, the original plan to open an offline retail store in the country in 2021 has been postponed.

Apple products have been sold in India for years through e-commerce platforms such as Amazon  and Walmart ‘s Flipkart, as well as resellers.

India is the second largest smartphone market in the world with nearly 700 million smartphone users.

Some products in Apple‘s catalog, including the iPhone, are assembled in India by Taiwanese contract electronics makers Foxconn and Wistron.

From April 2022 to February this year, India exported about $9 billion worth of smartphones, of which iPhones accounted for more than 50%, according to the Mobile Phone and Electronics Association of India.

Apple also plans to assemble iPads and AirPods in India.
