Apple to offer old iPhones in bid to produce in India

Apple has put back on the table a request to sell used iPhones in India as it negotiates with the government for concessions to start production in the country.

The company has asked to bring in used iPhones to be refurbished and sold in India, saying it will have the manufacturing infrastructure needed to make them compliant with quality standards, sources said.

The request is included in a list of concessions submitted by Apple to a panel of government officials that includes a 15-year tax holiday.
