Per Apple‘s CEO Tim Cook, the company’s iPhone sales in India for the fiscal ending September 2016, grew by over 50 percent as compared to the same period last year. He attributed the reason for this jump in sales to Apple’s partnership with India’s Reliance Jio.
Cook said that Reliance Jio is rolling out 4G coverage in 18,000 cities and 200,000 villages across the country. Besides, the company had gladly extended a free one year of service to buyers of new iPhones. Hence, Apple has decided to partner with them to ensure excellent iPhone performance on their network, reports P.C Tablet.
Cook added that the company is looking forward to the rapid progress of 4G networks in India, since it would raise the proliferation of iPhones in the country, which in turn will drive their net level of growth.
