Although the most populous democratic India has a large under the age 25 population the buying power is still not enough. However, if the phones can be manufactured and priced reasonably the market can be big. Forget about $499 etc. That will not fly.

Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared recetnly on CNBC to make the case.
