TWITI #39 of 2026: Apple is EXPLOITING India

If not exploiting, Apple is definitely disrespecting India and Indians. First, there’s the issue of discriminatory pricing of device in India - even though they are basically made in India. Then there’s the massive antitrust case against Apple brought on by the CCI, that Apple is just dragging on. Then there’s the fact that Apple removed bit chat from the App Store in India, at a time when the youth needed it the most. Then, there’s the fact that it did not start on October 07th. Nor was the FlyDubai flight even real.
