Tim Cook courts India as Apple speeds up China shift
Apple’s ramping up of production fits perfectly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Made in India” push. The fact that it also slights China is icing on the cake.

Mr Cook will open an Apple retail store in New Delhi after officiating at the launch of the company’s first outlet in the financial hub Mumbai on Tuesday.
