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.

IMO it's a bit unreasonable to demand them go changing the design of older models aswell. I'm happy that they were forced to switch to USB-C on future models, but I'm with Apple on this one.

I don't think its unreasonable. Apple can afford it and it's better for customers.

Win-win unless you're an Apple investor (which you're not.)

Apple just wouldn't do it, it makes no sense. They are just pissed because cheaper, older models sell in India and that would leave only the newer models.
