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 !

    umm..i guess thr was a price cut for iPhone 3GS rite? what about it? n ya ..this phone is gonna cost us some 38000 INR for 16 gigs.. for sure..n for 32? OMG ..v shudnt evn talk about it..

  • Jayson D

    yea I am definitely gonna buy it! if the price is really off..then I might just buy it from Singapore or some place else!

  • Victor

    I really don’t agree with you about the price.. The price would be same as the 3GS..as 3GS comes down to 3G’s price.. and with respect to the launch date, sure thing it will be september 2010 as 3G is hitting the India shores on 1st Sept 10. No more delay guys, the telco’s have already deposited the mula. Now just the role out..

  • Suresh

    Hi,

    i love th iphone, i would be the happiest man if iphone 4 is released within this year in india. i pray god if india is among the 88 countries.

    I just got my blackberry bold 9700 a week back and I am super satisfied. Satisfaction also comes from the fact that there is no other latest model of blackberry trading anywhere in the world. I thought the new iPhone 4 will perhaps perturb and provoke me, but na. I don’t give a damn about what their new features are, because not only is blackberry cheaper in comparison but the data plans are terrific, which alas iPhone is never capable to remotely match. Apple took us Indians for a ride, treating us as lesser beings. The price of iPhone 3gs is exorbitant with no exceptional features, I can well imagine what iPhone 4 must be priced at. Therefore, to hell with iPhone and hail Blackberry. Its not always about being ahead, sometimes it must be about being proud. Blackberry gives me that pride.

  • abhinav

    I m very much interested in it. Would like a HongKong factory unlocked 1. Willing to pay 35k for the same

  • jackjanik

    i bought 3gs in march waiting fr almost a year afer worldwide launch nd knew they’ll launch new one in june july but still 3gs does pretty much the things iphone 4 will do apart frm display ,camera with flash i dont use camera much nd 3.2 does the job if i need it but fr me design is supreme nd iphone 4 is awesome(subhan allah) :) but still i dont regret buying 3gs . but will surely buy iphone 4 if i’ll hv some extra moolah at my despense . some one frm pakistan said its gonna cost 80k in pak thats too absurd pricing i think it’ll be more than 50k here in india

  • hrishikesh

    16GB will be around 40-45 k for sure. Just hope we get 8GB 3G S will be launched soon for around 28k.

  • Prakash Srinivasan

    i am not sure how iPad and iPhone will work in India as they work on micro SIM. Hope so India telcos will provide micro SIMs

  • Tarun

    If I am not wrong, the phone comes with a microSIM slot which will not work in India. @Varun – Can you please confirm? Thanks!

  • Sumit Bhutani

    I am an Apple IPhone customer since June 2007 when the 1g IPhone got launched…I remember the night when I’ve queued up at apple store 5th avenue New York to ge the iPhone….since then I haven’t changed my phone but since then I have been following every news about the iPhone..I I was waiting for the day June 7th 2010 to know the details about the upcomming IPhone….however there were lots of details floating on Internet but today it is confirmed by apple…I was planning to buy 3gs but i think it’s worth to wait for next two months…who knows that india will be among one of 88 countries to get the new baby…

  • Prikshit

    i will never buy this phone android even symbian 3 phones are better

  • http://www.digitalmafia.in Yashodhan

    If price will be between 20,000 to 28,000 everyone will love to own iphone 4

  • http://www.fonearena.com Varun Krish

    well i know users who are using the iPad 3G in India :)

  • Shabith Ashrof

    The iphone 4 works only on micro sim. Is there any telecom carrier in india that have this micro sim??

  • Prasad Gavhane

    Maybe apple will launch its next iphone with dual boot feature having apple os and android os in same phone.

  • Nidz

    Not buying it !!

  • http://pcandweb.com/ Subhadeep Gayen

    I’d buy only if we have similar price like USA which is expected to be around $200, why would i pay $1000 for a $200 phone instead i’ll buy something better.

  • James

    You sir are simply retarded!

  • DeepPurple15

    I am going to buy this phone as soon as it hits the markets.. The only thing I am kinda worried about is microsim.. I don’t know if the Indian Mobile service providers provide with microsim services…. does anyone know whether Airtel or Vodafone support microsim….??

  • Spankyu

    Not gonna buy this.. when it comes to india itll cost somewhere in the range of 40-50k (3gs already is available in the range from 35-42k).. for a phone??? that too with limited features..! only thing to appreciate is the high res screen.. rest all the samsung galaxy s can do better (3 times better..) in comparison.. not to mention that the amoled screens have much better blacks than anything else on a mobile device out there..(plus no sign of flash in the browser) Funny part is the iphone intro video on the apple site.. its really worth laughing at.. the apple guys seem so suprised with the video calling feature haha .. he says “will revolutionize the world!” LOL apple have yu been sleeping.. one things for sure nokia is gonna be after them for mentioning “connecting people” all the time in the video ;) I’d put my money on the samsung galaxy s :) better display better open source OS.

  • Christopher Cruz

    Why does Apple have double standards on pricing? I will and am sure that a very large Indian population will buy the phone if it is priced same as in the US or if at least a contract plan is introduced. Apple will surely wipe out other phones in the market if it works on the pricing.

  • xpriens

    Umm, i dnt think so….Apple is quite into technology…..ev1 adopts, it simply delivers…..it wnt take Andriod, unless ther is something really challenging in it to be given….else Apple is on it’s own for ever and ever and ever… :)

  • Velan

    I would buy this phone at any cost

  • arun kumar chauhan

    i don’t know about iphone,plz tell me difference between mobile phone and iphone also feature of iphone.

  • anonymous

    @ deep purple… if the iPhone 4 works on microsim than the phone providers bharti and vodafone will adjust accordingly…so no worries
    @Prasad i use a iPhone 3g 3.12 and have both droid and mac OS on it ..check videos on youTube and you could do that to your iPhone too..
    @subhadeep i wouldnt spend that much either and would prefer to get the fone through one of many hundred ABCD relatives in the States lol

  • Drumster

    This phone will not be less than 1,000 dollars in India. Rather buy the Nokia N8 which will be priced much lesser and with an open source OS with lesser control unlike Apple. HTC Evo 4G might be another option. But Apple has lost the Indian market. They have goofed up bigtime… Its the second largest mobile market in the world and Apple has absolutely no market share here :)

  • Shahzoor Ali

    HAHAH! Symbian?? are you kidding me?

  • Prikshit

    you dont know wat is independence lol ………..

  • Mayank

    Hell with this one.No change in design, launched with 3 new features.Why to waste 35k+ for same old model when you have loads of other choices in Indian market or say better options than this.At least they should have try to change the design to make it different from its predecessor.Only reducing the thickness will not make it look apart from previous models.Seems Apple is next Nokia as far as design is concerned!!!

  • someone

    Cant you see??, this is a new design. I will pay whatever this new iphone 4 will cost.

  • ady

    I would prefer nexus one over this phone. with the android 2.2 update nexus one has way too many features and is more powerful than this phone. the only thing it lacks is a front facing camera which I Don’t think is so important.

  • rAg

    Just coz you wont be paying 75$ per month like in US!!! In US people end up paying 75$ per month including taxes for 2 years and thats the only reason they get devices at discounted prices.. We dont even pay 1/10 of that amount per month but we want the device at discounted price eh? In fact the no-contract price in US Is 599$ + Taxes which will come down to around 630$

  • Angad Singh

    @Subhadeep Gayen dude it may be 200 n 300 $ but the phone comes with a good montly rental n locked….. All is not that sweet as it seems….
    Also At&t is buying 26% share from reliance mobile so u can soon expect iPhone 4 on reliance…. N also cheap…. ( we hope so) as in Indian markets as 1 brings out a scheme others follow….
    @drumster I guess yur drum has gone empty…. Or blown away as apple is second to rim in the american market n only nokia n rim is above it in rest of the world….
    Now I hope that Motorola just launch their roumered phones soon a 1ghz 4.3″ phone with a qwerty keyboard or something like evo 4g for the gsm market so atleast android guys have some thing to say to apple fans
    but I m happy that this andriod vs apple vs windows mobile 7 war is getting us to see new great phones….
    M no apple fanboy but still I have to say that though there is nothing very inovative in the iPhone 4 but I m impressed with the class n style of the phone n very dissapointed with the fact that it’s features like video calling are limited to iPhone only..:.
    Also the fact that Vodafone sells the iPhone at a much cheaper rate in Europe than in India….

  • Die-Hard-iPhone-Fan

    Until when will the illiteracy going to rule our country. Guys, come out of it !!

  • Angad Singh

    Let’s keep our fingures crossed as these are just 18 out of the 88…. I hope India is in the list as it’s very tought t get GPRS setup on phone not bought from India…..
    @mayank stop crying…. It’s a new wine in a new bottle…… I see u r crying on all iPhone 4 posts…. Also let me tell u what’s new n I will tell u ony a few
    1 1ghz

    I m no iPhone or apple fan boy but someone who appreciates what is good…. M like die hard apple haters n lovers “a die hard symbian hater”….

  • Tarun

    Thanks Varun! I have seen some forums on the web where there is a tutorial on converting normal SIM’s to microSIM’s by actually cutting the plastic part of the SIM card and avoiding any damage to the metal part.

  • Sangeet

    “Vodafone Essar will launch iPhone 4, the thinnest smartphone in the world with the highest resolution display, in India in the coming months,” a company statement said & “Pricing in India will be around Rs 35,000, as has been seen in all Apple iPhones,” – The Telegraph 9th June 2010.

  • Sangeet

    iPhone 4G is not only about front facing camera, if you have iTunes, go to Podcasts sections and search for “Apple Keynotes”, there you’ll be able to download the latest WWDC Keynote presentation, it’s a 1.27 GB file which runs for 1:52:46 & you’ll get the whole idea of what exactly is this new iPhone. iOS 4 is way way superior than petty Android and for your information the prices are almost same. Android is just about having a Porn Apps.

  • Sangeet

    According to me, Indian are more interested in financing options than going for a one time buy, It’s even affordable, and can grab more customers, if Vodafone rolls out a new strategy this time by making the iPhone 4G price within 15K and recouping the remaining amount from any fixed data+voice plan like 1K per month or two, more are willing to go for iPhone 4G and can be a success in India. What say Vodafone?

  • Sangeet

    Apple is only about making quality products for the consumers, I’m not the only one who say that but millions of people who were in the WWDC Keynote says that, with applauds which exploded the hall. If you’ve seen the Keynote, you’ll notice that in the start, the applause didn’t let Stevie to start the show for a while, they were so huge. But I’ve seen in the case of HTC presentations, the speaker after introducing a new innovations waits for the audience to clap, and they barely get that.

  • Tarun

    i would like to buy this iphone but on installment payment basis. i am not an earning person. so…

  • Angad Singh

    ya but that trackball get dirty very easily n quicly

  • Amar

    This phone will not make big margins in india, as its price will be higher than 3GS, also other competitors handsets are more rich and have Android 2.1, also in less price.

  • Sangeet

    Okay..!! But just one nice feature doesn’t makes Android an iPhone

  • Sangeet

    Yes bro..!! that’s what is convenient for a large population.

  • anonymous

    @ Sangeet…please dont tell that apple is all about consumer products. i have seen the keynote too and followed it live on engadget couple of days ago. People just laughed at Steve’s arrogance when he took potshots at Google and Adobe! it felt like i was watching 90s sitcoms like FRIENDS where they had the “laugh” “applause” signs to engage the audiance. these people laughed at everything which came off steve;s mouth!!
    ..
    the WWDC conference is more for people who wanna earn bucks through apple through ads and apps alike and not for consumers like me who use their products for the pleasure of it… what about iAds and stuff like that…if Android is all about having Porn APPS i am up for it rather than having iADS which will be all about Advertisement porn which you can touch and feel them too!!!!!!!
    btw i am an avid iPhone fan but dunno where Apple is heading!!! and i run my iPhone on MacOS as well Droid!!!!yey!!!

  • nikhilsaberwal

    iphone 4 requires micro-sim and in india there is no micro-sim so how will it run without a micro sim…

  • akshay

    anything in & around RS.25k will be a steal..(considering n8 at 22~23K)
    but they should have support for normal sim in india as opposed to mini sim as it supports

  • Sathiesh

    I’m sure of getting the i phone 4..
    i have waited a long for 3gs, but its too late, so i don’t want to get the 3gs model..
    but if i phone 4 is available by September I’ll get it with in a month time..
    I’m waiting for the i phone 4 launch in INDIA.

  • Mayank

    Thanks for you long s*** Angad Singh
    You are right no other handset has…,
    1) multitasking
    2) led flash
    3)5mp camera
    4) 1ghz (what processor speed or ur writing speed)

    ha ha ha…,
    whose crying buddy… all your comments looks as if you are paid to write this.

    Bro, write what you feel about the cell,no need to cross anybody s comment!!!

    Grow up man!!!

  • Sangeet

    I agree with your statement friend but Apple takes care of security very well. As both of us are Mac users, we know it very well that there is no viruses and no glitch, no clutter.. what we don’t want we simply remove it, not unlike others where they go through a hierarchy procedure of uninstall. If we trust Mac, we trust Apple and it’s iPhone. They have to keep up-to our expectations to design best products. Adobe took up this fight themselves, Apple never said anything about it, they just decided not to use one of there product as Steve says. Apple never showed there arrogance in removing Google search or discontinuing Adobe Photo productivity softwares. And if Apple rejects Porn Apps for the betterment, I’m sure they’ll take care of explicit content of the forthcoming iAds

  • Sangeet

    Maybe the carriers with think about it once it’s launched. As Vodafone is sure about the launch, they will have to implement micro-sims

  • Tarun

    @Spankyu… Great observations! :)

  • Angad Singh

    My dear friend… @Mayank now how it sounds great, n how much i want to get paid for my opinion on what any1 says… but the sad part i do it for free….. lol
    also i never said no handset he these but i said that iphone 4 has the which means “ALSO”….
    i have tried both iphone and android though i love the android for being open source n so many options and features also i agree that iphone 4 has nothing new except the retinal display n being the slimmest…. BUT 1 thing apple does great is bring out a stylish product that has class and finely finished and a polish feel to on the other hand android has a unfinished feel to (though i still love it)
    also with so many android phones coming out n consumer on the mercy of the manufacture to get the update…. HTC will not give 2.2 phone lauched in 2009 nor will motorola… UNLIKE apple even the the phone lauched in 2007 will get 4.0 minus few upgrades

    I know apple is somewhat like dictator ship rule and not like android’s democracy rule (ya right!!!) but like a good dictator it takes good care of its followers

    also few of my fellow citizens think iAD is bad let me tell u that google the same stuff going in 2.2

    i recomend u all that u watch keynotes of both iphone 4 and android 2.2 release (android 2.2 froyo was hosted by a fellow Indian Vic Ghandotra)…..

    after watching both the only thing u will be thinking would be i need both…. but which android device i should get if not Nexus 1…..

  • Angad Singh

    there is also a step by step guide on youtube to conver yur regular sim into micro sim….. same stuff is used in the ipad…

  • Angad Singh

    u must be kiiding me u comparing it to symbian… dont post out loud lol…. as N8 is nothing infront of android n IOS… if apple hear it the will sell the iphone for money only god can pay…LOL….

  • Sangeet

    But brother, it’s better if all comes officially in time. isn’t it? If not, then cutting, chopping, jail-breaking, unlocking etc are always there. ;)

  • Sangeet

    Exactly, RIM (35%) holds the largest market share followed by iPhone (28%), Windows (19%), Android (9%) respectively. Symbian is nowhere to be seen. It comes under Others (9%).

  • Sangeet

    I agree with Angad completely, people were bragging out when iPad came out with iBooks that it doesn’t has digital ink which makes it quite hard to concentrate on a digital book and will have stressed eyes but I always trusted Apple and knew that they’ll come out with any solution and lo, there’s Retina Display now. I love Android too and there’s never been a competition between iPhone iOS 4 and Androids, they provide the best innovations any other smartphone companies can only imagine about. I like iPhone slightly better, if anybody has ever played GTA: Chinatown Wars, they’ll know it. I was completely blown away, still wondering how can a Phone has so beautiful graphics which can be compared to gaming platforms like PSP.

    Apple really takes care of our interest and even carves out stuffs which we need but don’t know. I can remember of one thing like, purchasing and downloading a huge file via 3G network was expensive but they’d put a bar and allowed us to download only a specified amount of data on 3G, and if it’s a huge file then it complete the download via WiFi.
    Similarly, Apple’s new FaceTime allows us to complete the video call via WiFi, so that it doesn’t boggles up the network data, which is expensive.

  • Sangeet

    I don’t know why few folks here having a problem with iAds. Google has it and Apple creates it more simple by keeping us on the App rather than moved to browser to view the ad which is not even that interesting. Apple has come to iAds because to keep the advertisers happy and encouraging developers to make low cost Apps. I don’t know why people oppose this. Many Apps still has ads, like app from dictionary.com and I feel really pissed when I’m dragged out of the app to some random site in browser, and these whole congested things makes me forget what I was actually trying to do in dictionary app.

  • Sangeet

    Mayank, for you Multitasking, LED Flash, 5MP camera and 1 GHz processor can be common but for hardcore APPL fans like us, it is whole new different story carved out of much superior innovation others can only think about.
    Multitasking on iPhone may not be the first one but it’s the best so far as compared to design and way it functions
    LED Flash and 5MP camera records HD and most importantly it’s not only about increasing Megapixels, Great photography comes with the blend of architecture behind it and way it comes out with, not just increasing pixels and I think you’re unknown of Retina Display.
    1 GHz chip maybe common in many phones today but it’s custom made by APPL, it’s the A4 chip which is meant for iPhones. The power it has is exclusively designed for the functioning of iPhone’s Apps in it best avatar. It’s made for iPhone unlike other where the phone is made out of the powerful chip (Snapdragon)

  • Ruwan

    I am really impress about the featers of this new apple.5 MP camara with Flash is filfilling a big gap of Iphone of old generations. also cant forget about HD Video.
    sure that price will be high but i want to buy this from the 1st lot.
    we can enjoy for the quality of apple products

  • http://www.harish-agawane.com Harish

  • Gourav Bayin

    Can anyone suggest me which phone to buy?
    I am looking for a dual sim phone that supports both GSM & CDMA technology with dual standby. It must have a camera, preferably 2 megapixel, FM radio and MP3 player, GPRS enabled and supports external memory card.

    Can you suggest me a good phone. I have heard Samsung has such two phones, but cant get the model number. Please help, its urgent.

  • Parag

    @Gourav – Buy two iPhones :D

    Cheers!

  • Angad Singh

    lol…..
    i was getting a motorola milestone but i kust felt the phone at the mobile store and saw that its physical keyboard isnt very good….. that d-pad is an obstruction….

  • rAg

    small correction dude.. 2g iphone launched in 2007 isnt getting the 4.0 update.. 3g iphone launched in 2008 is getting 4.0 minus all updates..

  • sachinvram

    i would love to get my hands on a shiny new iPhone 4,i’m ordering one as soon as it is released in India,in the mean time ill try to get one from the US also so that if the Dev team comes up with the “jailbreak” before it is here !!!

  • Jigar

    Hey, gr8 phone but I’m sure it’s price is going to be over 40k-45k INR for the base 16GB model. It’s not worth buying a phone this expensive, especially when we know that Apple launches a new iphone every year with some massive tweaks & additions in their hardware. Many countries’ carriers have an option for an upgrade to the new iphone at a slightly lower cost, officially unlocking the older one for the customer upon getting an upgrade & renewing their contract.
    Besides that, Vodafone & Airtel seriously need to consider getting in some EMI schemes for these kind of phones to work successfully in India. Currently this phone is only for the elite crowd. Everyone I know in the United States has an iphone! How many people have you seen with an iphone in India? Very few! :(
    And the worst thing about Apple India is that they get a supply of sub-standard low grade stock parts during repairs. I remember I had to give my Macbook Pro for a screen replacement thrice in one month & the screen is still defected! But I can live with the cliched “spot-light eefect” of the displays.
    And unfortunately, I have more knowledge of the equipment used in the Macbook (types of display: LED backlit/CCFL backlit etc) than the employees of Apple. I had a hard time getting my Macbook repaired at the Authorised repair center.

    Please Apple… educate your employees & improve the service quality in India. I love Apple products, but buying them here in India is a waste of hard earned money!

  • Angad Singh

    Jagir I have an iPhone n my dad to has an iPhone….. He’s gettng the new for sure almost….
    Vodafone outside India sells iPhone very cheap…. So why not India…. I have Vodafone on my iPhone n on that I don’t evevgot a GPRS connection…. After months of trying talking n fighting n wasting money I finally got GPRS but still no mms…. For 200 a month while on airtel no mothly charge n everything works…… Vodafone guys tell me that sir we can not give services on advanced peice of machine please get another phone…. This is how these European companies treat us.. Even BsnL hates Indians…..

  • http://twitter.com/prajwalrao Praj

    You also have to remember, iPhone 4 only accepts Microsim cards.. It will mean Airtel and Vodafone will have to issue new sim cards to those users who end up buying the phone.

    I for one, cannot see the iPhone coming officially in Sept.. I think the wait is gonna be much longer..

  • mahesh

    You can cut the regular SIM to make to micro SIM and it should work
    without issues.

    I am not sure of iphone 4 india prices, SIM free unlocked is available for 499 and 699 pounds respectively from UK which is
    around Rs.33,900 (16GB) and Rs.40,700(32GB)

    Vodafone may throw some discount knowing the fact,SIM free options available internationally.

    If the price is higher here, get it from outside and use it as simple as that.

    I’m getting one from UK this 24th
    cheers

    ————–
    iphone 8GB, Macbook, Macmini, Imac 27″

  • mahesh

    sorry 499 and 599 pounds.

  • Nitigya

    With iPhone 3GS delayed almost 9 months and iPad having no hope of getting launched in India soon, I am not sure how soon iPhone4 will see the light of day in India

  • Nitigya

    It is still too early to build any hope of iPhone4 launch in India. I am pretty sure its not going to be even in few months given the history of iPhone 3GS (launched 9 months late) and iPad still not launched in India.

  • Tushar Jain

    Mahesh is sim free iphone4 available in UK? Will i be able to use it with a sim card in India? If so, i may also get it imported.

  • Karan

    I’m a huge iphone fan, but if the iphone 4 is gonna be costlier than 3gS in India, then it will be a sure flop. I hope you know the 3Gs already costs 40500 and 47500 for 16 and 32 GB and if the iphone4 will cost more meaning 60 and 70, then people would prefer buying a LED…!

  • sumanth

    can any one tell me how to grt iphone4 from us

  • http://raviorganics.com/vishu Vishu

    I’m pretty sure the lauch of iphone 4 is not gonna happen any time soon here in india, like the case of 3gs which came in 9 months late, this one too is hopeless, if you want one, better arrange for one from u.s., considering the minuscule official sales of iphone here in comparison to other countries i think apple puts India among the very last in the list of countries for launch.

  • sumanth

    but..we cant bring from u.s…thare’s a rule that we have to take iphone on at &t monthly plans for atleast one year!!!!

  • sumanth

    then wat we have to do dude????

  • Angad Singh

    No worries….. if u really want the phone got to Ebay.in n search iphone 4 u will find some unlocked phones there and also ipads…….

  • amit

    it is getting launched in UK sim free no contract required.

  • boreddy. nagarjuna reddy

    hi i needto know when it will launch in india and what its price in india

  • Jack D

    iPhone 4 uses a micro SIM card. Unless an Indian cell provider issues micro SIM cards, I doubt you can use it here even if you buy it abroad, but Vodafone has issued a press release stating it plans to launch it in India (date not supplied yet)

  • sumanth

    we can make a micro sim by cuting a sim card ,i done ti…working , and am buying a iphone 4

  • Ankur Gupta

    From where will you be buying your iphone 4?
    I’m also lookin forward to get one. But it is still not available in Indian grey market and iphone is locked in usa.

  • Angad Singh

    search for iphone 4 on ebay.in…..

  • sumanth

    we have to wait 15 more days to get iphone4 in indian grey market…

  • sumanth

    16gb-35,000
    32gb 42,000

  • Angad Singh

    people have already listed it on ebay…..
    but i will still warn that iphone 4 is with issues like signal dropping when touching that metallic strip and yellow spots(a design flaw)…. n that super glass looks like a lie coz i saw a video in which that guy broke the glass in 4 falls………….
    m selling my 3g to get iphone 4 or droid 2…

  • raghav

    which place u ordered from , any in grey market can u name???>??

  • iBoy

    Just came back from Alfa (popular grey market of Mumbai).

    And beleive it or not the price of a brand new iPhone 4 is Rs. 75,000

    YES YOU READ IT CORRECTLY: RS. 75000 (SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND)

    Even a diamond studded phone sells for lesser than that.

  • raghav

    hmmm…. less than that cn b bought at ebay….these guys r insane ..max i could spend is 42000 for 16 gb…its forr 33k in uk…the factory unlockd one..

  • Jishnu

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

  • 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???

  • arjun

  • 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

    wait minute…. what do u need 3g for? video calling?

  • 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…….

  • Sharath

    I am using an iPhone 4 with Airtel sim… jailbreak and unlocks are released for iphone 4.. and i paid USD $250/- unlocking site

    http://www.iphonehacks.com/

    Airtel has won the contract for 3g and soon will will give out the service. and anyhoo after unlocking you can put BSNL sim which provides 3g service..

  • 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.

    thnaks

  • 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?
