I like your "Foxconn PR fallout". [1]

Regarding your issue, let me copy-paste randomly [2]:

> “With India’s labour cheaper compared with China, and the gradual expansion of its supplier base here, Apple will be able to use the country as an export hub,” Neil Shah of Hong Kong-based tech researcher Counterpoint said.

> India is also working to boost electronics manufacturing by firms such as Foxconn and last month launched a $6.65 billion plan, offering five global smartphone makers incentives to establish or expand domestic production.

> Building more phones in India will also help Apple save on import taxes that further push up its prices.

Parent's comment was vaguely worded so I think you mistook it as saying Apple wanting to pay higher wages.
