If Android called their bluff and pulled out of India their country would be fucked...

Most of them only have cell phones for the internet, and sure as shit can't afford iphones.

The only alternative is Chinese operating systems, and those are loaded with spyware.

Yeah like Google would pull out from one of their biggest markets..

Edit: Lmao he blocked me. It's one of their biggest market counting people that can afford a phone, duh. India is massive and makes up for people that can't afford a phone with the sheer number of people that can.

It doesn't matter how many people are there if most either can't afford a phone or only afford the cheapest model...

Which is why Google's revenue from India is a drop in the bucket compared to global.

Sure, ~700 million in revenue sounds like a lot.

But just US is 209 billion in revenue

And do that now with data.

I wanna bet that data generated by the Indian population is far more valuable...
