Today's Above Avalon daily update includes the following stories:

Fitbit Announces Fitbit Premium
Apple Receives Good News in India
A Look Inside Foxconn's India Factories

We begin today’s email with my thoughts on Fitbit’s new health / fitness subscription. There is reason to be skeptical this type of subscription is going to work for Fitbit. The discussion then turns to India. We go over recent changes to India’s sourcing requirement and retail distribution restrictions. The update concludes with Foxconn's efforts to turn India into an iPhone assembly hub.
