iPhone 4 India Launch in September ? Price might be high

on June 8, 2010 – 12:22 am127 Comments

During the WWDC announcements today Apple announced that the iPhone 4 – the latest apple phone will be available in 88 countries by September this year. We are not sure if India is amongst the 88 countries listed. But since there are lot of iPhone fans in India , we would love to get our hands on the device pretty soon and not a year later. The iPad is expected to be launched in India soon.

But if the 4th gen iPhone or iPhone4 running on iOS4 comes to India, the Price might be really high and much higher than the 3GS.  But this phone will be a sure hit unless Apple has stock issues.This iPhone will sell just for 3 features – Retina Display , Facetime VideoCalling and Gyroscope . The 5 MP camera with HD Video Recording and iMovie – video editing is not to be forgotten.

Now tell me readers ? Is there a market for the iPhone 4 in India  ? Are you willing to buy it ?  How much are you willing to cough up?  We shall let Apple know this time so that they don’t make us wait for ever !

PS: The device is going to be available in Singapore and Hongkong in July. India is not faraway !

    Iphone 4 is much more cheaper and its selling in US250$-US300$

    • chevy

      Useless fellaa…..tht’s nt the entire device cost……u’ve to buy 2 yrs at & t contract along wid tht…tht wud cost mre dan 35k in INR…..ass…..open ur eyes….u can get a factory unlocked from HONK KONG, CANADA OR SINGAPORE for around 30k for 16gb iphone 4…….

  • tushar

    30k-35k is reallistic more than that no way!

  • Sharath

    iphone 4 might cost more than 45K-50K. Main reason- It operates on Micro Sim. Air-tel and Vodafone has to make new micro SIM for this phone, That means more cost incurred by company and that means higher price. :(

  • Hitesh

    @ jishnu & tushar

    You need to read and look around much harder!!
    As i write this blog response, Vodafone is selling the iPhone 3GS 32 GB for a whopping Rs47,500/-
    And you guys are expecting the sweet phone for 42K???? Wake up…the pricing for IP4 will not be below 50-54K
    Whatta dampner!!!
    Better to get it when it releases in HK – you will get it for INR 40K
    from UK you are currently getting a SIM free ip4 for 42000 rs (all pricing mentioned for 32GB models)
    Apple doesnt consider INDIA as its primary market…thats the reason it chose INDIA launch in phase 3
    Phase 1 – 5 countries June 2010
    Phase 2 – 40 countries July 2010
    Phase 3 – 88 countries September 2010
    By the way Apple has till date never officially mentioned that INDIA launch wud be phase 3…Its just that INDIA doesnt figure in the country list of Phase 1 & 2 , that we enthu Indians assumed that we get the IP4 in Phase 3…
    Pls remember , IP 3GS was launched in INDIA 1 year after the release in USA…Dream on

    • Sunny Mohanty

      @hitesh..price of iphone3gs 32 gb is 41500 in all the states except maharastra…

  • Raj

    One more issue. It uses a microsim, not a normal sim. I use an airtel micro SIM for my iphone4. Guess what, I got the device to cut the normal sim to microsim.It works fine in iphone4 & normal phone using an adapter. Any one wants their sim to be cut to a microsim, contact me at vijai_32@hotmail.com

    • Sharath

      Hi Raj could you please send me some Pic of the device and the micro sim???

  • Hitesh

    Lol @ Arjun

    You seem to be either very naive or only an anti-iPhone lover!

    Most smart phones including the htc / samsungs/ iPhone 3G / 3GS / nokia n97 / x6 / n95 /most high end smart phones, support 3G and India never had 3G while ppl were using these 3G enabled phones since past 2-3 years… And now when 3G is around the corner.. VF and Airtel have won the bids in many circles, u are suggesting this SAD news that VF n Airtel don’t support 3G!!
    Am having a hearty laugh… Lolz

    • Angad Singh

      Hey nokia does not have a smartphones and n series is just line of feature phones……

      • Arin

        Angad, Nokia has many smartphones. The difference in a smartphone and a regular phone is the OS. All Nokia smartphones run on Symbian OS. E71 is a good example.

      • Prasad

        Hi Neeraj,

        I also have been cheated by this guy uelovely@gmail.com (His real name is Pebam Lanchenba).That f**king b**tard has not sent the phone after receiving the money.How are you registering an FIR? You will have to go to Imphal to do that and also the store he had listed on Google Maps most probably doesnt exist at all.Are you from Delhi?
