Why the iPhone can’t compete in India

Well, like all Google products, you’re paying with your privacy instead of money. I guess privacy is only for people who aren’t “financially sensitive” now.

Android is a privacy sink. The second you log in, you've literally turned on the data tap for Google to snarf up everything you've got. Everything is tracked, profiles created, data sold, everything. Apple does not do this, and if they do, I cannot detect it.

These are all under powered computers, nothing to do with being google product installed on them(you can just wipe the OS if you want). In India, you can buy higher spec windows computers cheaper than chromebooks.

Please explain how Chromebooks violate your privacy, thanks!

Any product made by google has the goal of harvesting data. Whether you see that as an invasion of your privacy is a matter of personal interpretation.

Well, before my Android phone I owned a Nokia Windows Phone which was also 1/10th the price of an iPhone. Not sure how that point of data fits into your narrative...
