Apple Set to Open Its First <br />Physical Stores in India Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the <br />company is planning to open a store in India <br />next year and an online outlet later in 2020. The move represents a significant step <br />for Apple, as India is the second-largest <br />smartphone market in the world. The opening of a physical store has <br />been in the pipeline, but Cook outlined <br />a specific timeline at Apple's latest <br />annual shareholders meeting. Recently, demand for Apple products <br />has been slowing in China, so it's increasingly <br />important that the brand spreads its <br />influence to new markets like India.
