iPhone 5s release in India

[minajoh]

Hello all,

I wanted to know when iPhone 5s is going to release in India. Also what would be the cost of this smartphone? If it is over Rs. 40000 then I dont think that it will be worth to go for this phone, since there are not much features in this iPhone 5s as compared to the Samsung devices that come at a good rate? By the way what all features are there in iphone 5s? Thanks

Well, Apple has not yet announced the availability of iPhone 5s for India. But the release date should be in December nearly. Also, in the US this phone will be put for sale from September 20th 2013. You can expect a price of Rs. 50000 for the 16gb version of iPhone 5s which will be definitely more costly than the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Last year when Apple released its iPhone 5 then it got a 400% growth. So it will definitely launch the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c maybe in the next month of October only. Also, due to heavy demand in the market they will bring more than 1 lakh units to India this time. But it seems that most of the people will not be interested in buying this smatphone because of lack of innovation.

It is wrong to say that there are no Apple fans out there in India even though if no new innovation is done in the iPhone 5s. There are many apple lovers who are willing to get their hands on this smartphone and are willing to spend more than 1 lakh rupees for it. There are also many local dealers who are quoting the price of iPhone 5s at Rs. 1,20,000 for the 64gb variant before the launch.
