- Free streamingAirtel : The deal includes free music and video streaming for many of Airtel's 281 million customers, which is expected to significantly expand the user base of Apple TV+ and Apple Music in India.

- Strengthening Market Presence :$AAPL, which has only a 6% share of the Indian smartphone market, is looking to strengthen its position and increase its presence in the region with this move.

Me too!

I like these steps. The company is still growing nicely.

I agree and I'm happy to be a spectator :)

This is a really strategic move. India will grow strongly in the coming decades and if Apple gets a foothold there this early on, it will benefit for a long time.

They are making great use of an opportunity in what is, from my point of view, still a very interesting embryonic market in the future.
