The media is covering the decline in smartphone sales, however it lacks the honesty to analyze the real reason for the decline. In india at least , the sales will be limited due to the lookism, ageism of ntro. when the domain investor purchased a iphone, these fraud ntro employees made fake black money allegations and routed all the phone calls through their call girlfriend sunaina chodan, who later got a raw job faking domain ownership.
The Samsung galaxy grand, which the domain investor paid for, was stolen when kept for charging in Thane because the domain investor was considered too ugly to own a smartphone.
The phone calls, smses of the domain investor are routed through raw/cbi employees who run an extortion racket, so instead of having correspondence stolen by the raw/cbi employees to supplement their income, the domain investor is not purchasing a smartphone at all
There are many others who are facing a similar problem, of having their phone calls, smses diverted to well connected friends and relatives of government officials, so they are not purchasing a smartphone.
