The report from Canalys quoted by <em>Moneycontrol<\/em> says the company has now become the sixth brand in the country\u2019s smartphone market. Apple has managed to grab 55 percent of shipment in this quarter with the iPhone 16 lineup, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/technology\/iphone-16-fuels-apple-s-growth-in-india-as-the-affordable-iphone-16e-stumbles-article-13309826.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">report<\/a> adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">More importantly, the older iPhone 15 and even iPhone 13 variants have found buyers, even though you have the latest iPhone 16E available in the market. It is interesting that the non-Apple AI supported devices are doing well after the 16E launch in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iPhone 15 Sells, But 16E Not: Here\u2019s Why<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">So Apple is able to sell the older iPhone 15 in India but not the iPhone 16E, why? The report quotes analysts saying that people have not been appealed by the single camera at the back and the lack of functional Apple AI features that could tempt them into splurging on the new model. It is clear that India as a market views brand value with brands like Apple but specs are equally critical to match with their spending.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iPhone 16E costs Rs 59,900 in the country, and for that price, you have plenty of Android phones with better features, more camera and flagship performance. When you compare that to the iPhone 15, you get a full-fledged 2023 flagship device that still has one of the best hardware that money can get you in the market. It is obvious that the value of iPhone 16 and 15 has enticed people to ignore the 16E and get themselves a better deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We could see the trends change once the festive period kicks in and you have a window to offer these iPhones at special prices and get them across to more people in the country. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1f765b55423e1e5a jsx-561468098 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
