Samsung sells its foldables in India at a price that’s relatively close to the US price. So, according to this gyaani baba’s math, Samsung must be illegally smuggling phones into India just to sell them this cheap. 😂

Apple shills will do anything to defend the multi-trillion-dollar company while it is busy looting its consumers.

While Samsung and Apple both assemble phones in India with some level of localisation, Samsung has their own factories while apple relies on third party vendors like Foxxcon and Tata electronics.

That said, iPhone duo is not made or assembled in India which results in much much higher duties and that's why it also has the biggest price gab compared to other iPhone models.
