To refresh the iPhone topic, we had reported last week that, Airtel had officially announced the date of launch of Apple iPhone 3G in India as 22nd August 2008. But the prices of the handest were still a mystery.
However, all that has changed now, as the prices for Apple iPhone 3G have been disclosed. As per the reports, the 8 GB version of the Apple iPhone 3G will cost Rs 31,000, while the 16 GB version will cost between Rs 36,000–37,000.
This has turned out to be a solid blow to the potential customers and the die-hard fans, who had been expecting the device to be priced at the International launch price of Rs.13,000/- to Rs. 15,000/. According to many sources, these prices are exclusive of the rental plan that will be offered along with the phone.
According to Sanjay Kapoor, President, Bharti Airtel mobile services, “iPhone has been an iconic technological revelation of this year and Airtel has been at the forefront of innovation and customer delight in the Indian telecom sector.”
