Apple charges the most to its poorest customers
 

Fruity cargo cult Apple has touted its future success in China and India as reasons why it will continue to make money. However that has been called into question by its daft pricing policy.

You would think that trying to sell phones to poorer countries, Apple would reduce the price a bit so that more people could afford it.

Apparently not. Apple thinks it is better to charge poorer country’s more for its shiny toys.

They say time is money, but unfortunately for Apple enthusiasts in India, they’ll need to spend more of both for the iPhone 6S.

Not only is it launching its iPhone 6S three weeks after it was released in much of the western world, it is charging Indians $955 for the 16GB entry model. The top-of-the-line 128GB 6S Plus, which will $1,415. The average wage in India is $295, so to own one a person will have to work for three months and not eat – a small price to pay for a phone with no compelling hardware and which will be out-of-date in a few months.
