Bloomberg says that Apple about doing negotiations with the Indian government on the tax preferences in the case of iPhone assembly organization in this country.
The largest contract manufacturer of Apple products, the Taiwanese company Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision Industry), since mid-2015 released in India smartphone for other "imported brands" like Xiaomi. If necessary, the same power will be used for the iPhone release. The talks with the Indian government is far from complete.
On Friday, Reuters reported with reference to the Japanese colleagues from the Nikkei reported that some analysts after completing a survey of suppliers Apple revealed plans for a 10% reduction in the volume of iPhone orders for the current quarter (as it is already the first, with the New Year, the country!). Such a solution is caused by the presence of a certain amount of unsold goods, and for the beginning of the calendar year is common. Last year, for example, the volume of orders fell by 30% in the first quarter.
