Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India's manufacturing and export laws.

Who did say that? I didn't.

My point is the old IPhones sell in that market, while the new ones don't, because of price. So if they want to stay in the market they have two choices, reduce the price of the newer models or pay to retool the manufacturing of older models.

Obviously the logical choice is to pay the retooling costs so you can offer all models.
