A man has been arrested in India on allegations that he sold counterfeit iPhones and Apple Watches, The Hindu reports. The arrest was reported on Saturday, 7 November 2026.
The Hindu's headline identifies the case as one involving the sale of fake versions of two Apple product lines: the iPhone and the Apple Watch. The report does not specify the location of the arrest, the quantity of items involved, or the charges the man faces.
Counterfeit electronics are a recurring concern for device makers, since fake products can imitate the appearance of branded hardware while differing in components and quality. Apple has not commented on this case in the material available.
The Hindu's report is currently limited to the arrest itself. Further details on the investigation and any court proceedings have not been published in the source summary.
What to watch next: whether police or Apple release additional information on the scale of the operation or the charges filed.
