IPHONE 4S-THE MOST EXPENSIVE SMARTPHONE IN INDIA

The new iPhone 4S is creating a nationwide buzz
with the telecom operators Airtel and Aircel opening
the device for pre-booking in India. The pricing of the
new iPhone 4S has certainly taken the Apple fans in
India by surprise. The 16GB variant, which is the
lowest model of the iPhone 4S, has been priced at
whopping Rs. 44,500, while the 32GB model is
available for Rs. 50,900. Currently, the 64GB model
has been listed as the ‘sold out’ at the Aircel website.
With price hovering around Rs. 45k, the iPhone 4S
could be the priciest iPhone launched ever in India.
Considering the pricing of the iPhone 4S in other
nations, it could be the costliest iPhone 4S in the world
right now. The official carriers of the iPhone 4S in
India, Airtel and Aircel, have also not given any
respite to the iPhone enthusiasts. None of them has
yet announced any bundled offers with the new
iPhone 4S.
It's notable that the iPhone 4S was launched at the
same price as the iPhone 4 in the U.S. And this time
Apple had been the quickest to bring its device to the
Indian market, which is approximately a month. With
India already bearing the brunt of price rise, it’s
unlikely that people will shell out more than Rs. 40k for
this device.
It’s learnt that the iPhone 4S is available at much
lower price tags in other countries and even you can
get a factory unlocked iPhone 4S for Rs. 43,100.
