Apple Inc. move to launch iPhone 5 in end of October'12, can be interpreted as a move where they have started taking Indian market seriously. They have already slashed the prices of iPhone 4/4s, before iPhone 5 launch.
Hopefully iPhone 5 is launching on 26th October, rumored to be priced around:
Rs 46000 to Rs 48000 for 16GB
Rs 51000 to Rs 53000 for 32GB
Rs 58000 to Rs 61000 for 32GB
I guess Apple wants to cash festival buying mood of Indians. It has already slashed prices of iPhone 4 / 4s. iPhone 4 is available for Rs 26500 and 4s for Rs 38500. One can get a discount of 10% approx. if they buy from grey market.
With the opening of biggest iStore in Beijing (China), one can observe that Apple is wants to be part of growth story of Asian continent.

I am not sure how many indians will pay 51k for a phone! that too with hardly noticeable changes..
ReplyDeleteiPhone is not a regular product, Its an "Apple Product" ! People pay premium for its products, just to have a sense of ownership of such big global brand. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure it will be a great success, keeping in mind that, few of them have already paid Rs 1.35 Lakhs($ 2590) for it last month..
iPhone 4 @ Rs 26500 is not worth. It should be priced around Rs 20000 !!
