Apple’s India sales surge 33% to record as China shift persists

The India revenue jumped about 33% in the 12 months through March from $6 billion a year earlier, according to a person familiar with the matter. Apple’s pricey iPhones accounted for more than half of the sales, people in the know said. The increase signals steady progress in Apple’s effort to win users in the world’s most populous country, whose consumers are gradually gaining more purchasing power as the economy expands.
