Actually, iphones which are much costlier sell well in India! In fact, all the top-end phones sell well in India.
Indian population seeks value, and are pretty smart about their choice of investment. An iphone even though is much costlier in India, has longer os / security updates than any budget phone. So over a period of time, this would translate to a higher value for the device and hence the purchasing decision. Usually Indians try to ascertain the price to value ratio (something that Nothing phone ceo has acknowledged publicly) while making these decisions.
Definitely Fairphone has the appeal of repairability (which again is valuable for the average Indian) and the longer os / security updates are a boon.
