1. Only few tech saavy people in india know that there exists a phone from apple known as iPhone!
I was quite surprised to know that this is actually not true. A lot of people know about the iPhone in India. In fact, most people know about it. It's been on the front pages of national newspapers in India.

2. Majority of people in india who are well educated and will deal with tech every day wont know that there exists a Company Called Apple !
Oh, c'mon! This is utter bullshit. Everyone knows about Apple Inc.

3. Few People use to say "Hey get yourself an iPod"... but if u ask them the company that is manufacturing it... they are unable to answer it!
Agreed.
Gigacore said:
4. If someone says Apple is the Company that manufactures iPod... then they say... O really? i came to know today!
Same as the previous point, but yeah - true.

5. And an interesting fact is that people will have enough money to buy any gadgets.... but they dont know to use them! (not only the products from apple)
Really? There is absolutely no question that Apple makes the easiest to use products in the industry. iPods sell because of two factors - the killer looks and the click wheel (ease of use personified).

6. Most of the college students know that there is a product called iPhone and iPods and several others from Apple.. and even they do know its from Apple... but they dont know apple's founder is JOBS!
Who cares!

If Apple really wants to get the world dominance...
They don't.
Gigacore said:
they have to make some really low cost products which should able to purchase by a normal or a middle class indian or a indian who uses his phone to talk with his mate in front of slippers near few temples..!!
They won't. Apple is one of the hottest brands in the world. They won't do anything to jeopardize that. Who cares about poor Indians, seriously! (I'm talking about it from Apple's point of view, not mine.)

Note: i'm not insulting any apple fans or anything like that... just i want people know few things about apple....
What you're basically saying is that Apple is not a common household name in India. Well, we all know that. Apple knows that.
The point is, they don't intend to be that either. They just don't care. And regardless of whatever you opine, the fact is that Apple's share prices and market value are constantly increasing and the company is progressively selling more products and making more profits each quarter. They're the fourth most valuable technology company in the world and most valuable computer maker.
I don't know why they are not trading the marketing path you have so efficiently laid out for them but maybe one of the reasons is that whatever they are doing now is taking them in the right direction. Think about it. It's simple stuff, actually.
