Indian Opinion Analysis

Apple’s decision to exclude Apple Intelligence from its entry-level iPads seems strategically aimed at keeping costs accessible for budget-conscious consumers.By focusing on core enhancements such as performance improvements with the A16 chip while maintaining competitive pricing, Apple caters effectively to a market segment less likely to demand high-end AI functionalities. This approach may help solidify Apple’s presence in India’s competitive tablet market by appealing to users seeking reliable performance without premium frills.
