The price of iPhone 15 has been lowered since its launch, and Indians are eager to see Cook

After the iPhone 15 was launched, a Taiwanese executive who worked at Foxconn in India resigned overnight and fled to mainland China to join BYD.

Not only Foxconn employees, but also Apple itself has been traumatized by Indians.

I don't know if you have noticed that the decline in iPhone sales highly coincides with Apple's timeline for building a factory in India. Indians cannot be blamed for the decline in iPhone sales, at least they are also to blame.

Approaching Double 11, Apple officials finally couldn't bear it and announced a 700 yuan price reduction for the iPhone 15! You should know that the iPhone 15 is the flagship device that was just released last month.

It's like buying a new house and the house price drops the next month. If it weren't for the unsatisfactory sales, Apple would never have taken this ugly step.

This is also the second time Apple has experienced a "price reduction upon launch" situation. Since Apple moved its production line to India last year and Indians participated in production, the iPhone 14 has experienced a price reduction of 300 yuan after being launched for one month.

It should be noted that Apple's prices have always been strong for 13 generations of products, from iPhone 1 to iPhone 13, and there has never been a "price reduction upon launch". Generally, the price will not be reduced until six months after the new product is released or before the next generation of new products is ready for launch.

As a result, as soon as Indians took over, they immediately lowered the price of iPhones, which can only be said that the world has no confidence in Indian manufacturing. There have even been many videos on how to teach people how to avoid buying the "madeinIndia" iPhone on the internet.

Apple's official customer service has been annoyed by Apple fans and has issued a notice stating that if you are not confident about purchasing a phone, you can apply for a refund within 14 days.

Why are global fruit fans so resistant to Indian made iPhones? Because before the release of iPhone 15, there were various reports of low yield of Indian iPhones, coupled with the unreliable national character of Indians, which completely shattered the impression of Apple fans on the high quality of iPhones.

Before the release of iPhone 15, Foxconn in India reported that they received a low yield rate of phone shells produced by Tata Group in India, with only 50% of qualified products, seriously slowing down the assembly process.

This incident directly alarmed Cook, who was far away in the United States. He personally ordered the transfer of a batch of phone cases from China to rescue India, so that Foxconn could barely catch up with the shipment date.

But when it comes to assembly, Indian workers have encountered new problems. A supervisor from Taiwan roast: You can never know where Indians planted a bomb for you.

Sometimes the paint falls off, sometimes the camera gets gray, and sometimes there are scratches. The safety production meetings are held every day, and whenever the Taiwan supervisor says anything, they all nod and say yes, with a good attitude. But when it comes to production, the old problems still remain unchanged.

Foxconn threatened to dismiss scattered workers, and Indians immediately organized protests after returning to their dormitories. Tens of thousands of people lay in their dormitories without work, and during mealtime, they went to the cafeteria to eat and drink for free. Indian workers attach great importance to protecting individual rights, which is worth learning from.

The unlucky Foxconn withdrew its decision to dismiss a worker while begging them to resume work. After receiving promises to improve food standards and provide free drinking water, Indian talent has gradually returned to work after taking leave.

Although the Taiwanese supervisor who was transferred to work in India has doubled his salary, he has no choice but to adapt everywhere - he has diarrhea due to Indian food, no one listens to his work schedule, and wants to go shopping around the factory on the weekend, just like in Africa.

Why can't India produce qualified iPhones? The reason is actually the same as in the United States - there are no talents left.

When Steve Jobs was alive, Obama asked him: Why can't the iPhone make so much money by transferring some of its production capacity back to the United States and creating some jobs?

Steve Jobs replied seriously that the iPhone could never be produced in the United States again. This is not a patriotic issue, it is a matter of industrial division of labor.

The United States does not have the engineers or technical workers needed to produce iPhones, but mostly lawyers and financiers who cannot even figure out the types of screws.

Americans who are accustomed to a wealthy life are unwilling to work on assembly lines anymore, and American universities no longer train engineers, but instead train artists, financiers, and lawyers - these professions are all parasitic classes that do not produce any actual labor products.

Let's take a look at the super rich in the United States:

Bill Gates sells software

Besso tore open the online store

Zuckerberg socializes

Buffett's stock trading

None of them are engaged in physical manufacturing. The only exception is Musk, who is not a native American. His hometown is in South Africa. If he had grown up in the United States and been influenced by it since childhood, he might have gone to work on Wall Street.

How do you expect Apple to produce iPhones in the United States with this industrial structure and social atmosphere? Chinese people are better and cheaper.

The situation in India is the same as that in the United States. There are no engineers and skilled workers needed to develop the manufacturing industry.

India's education is aimed at cultivating talents for Europe and America, and it is not responsible for the development of the country at all.

Europe and America need software talents, so they cultivate software engineers - most of the executives in Silicon Valley in the United States are Indian; Europe and America need financiers, so they train financial and accounting talents - Indian British prime ministers once worked at Goldman Sachs.

While we envy American corporate executives being occupied by Indians, we also need to see the sadness behind it - all the top Indian talents have run out. India's higher education has completely become a vassal of the European and American markets.

India urgently needs manufacturing talents, and smart people are unwilling to learn because they cannot find decent jobs locally in India. Anyway, they will have to go to Europe and America in the future, and of course, they will choose to study the majors that Europe and America need!

Do you still remember a student at Imperial University of Technology who was hiding in his dormitory to develop drones in the movie "Three Fools Make a fuss over Bollywood"?

That was a movie shot in 2009, when Indians had discovered the potential of drones. However, the principal scolded him for being "useless" and did not graduate him, forcing the students to death.

Although the movie also reflects the reality in India: even the best engineers born in this country find it difficult to realize their own value. If that student succeeds, there won't be anything wrong with China's Xinjiang now.

This is the underlying logic behind India's inability to produce qualified iPhones, and it is also the fundamental reason why we attach great importance to vocational education and enhance its status.
