iPhone 12 Mini, older models to drive growth for Apple in 2020; Pro models steeply priced: Analysts

NEW DELHI: Apple is set to clock a 16-22% on year growth in smartphone shipments in India in 2020, sharply higher than a 4% rise in 2019 and a 44% fall in 2018, driven largely by older generation of its iPhones like XR and 11 and the latest iPhone 12 mini, say analysts.

They added that Apple’s expected growth comes at a time the overall smartphone market in India is starting at its first ever contraction due to Covid-induced supply chain issues and tightened consumer spending. d.
