When the iPhone was launched all over the world, every country had its own share of hype. The iPhone was launched in India on 22nd August 08, and barring the few who were really interested in buying the phone, didn’t even realize when the iPhone launched.
Most of us were expecting a very competitive price, but Vodafone and Airtel failed to impress and launched the base model 8Gb iphone for Rs 31,000/- and the 16GB model for Rs 36,100/- which is a very heavy price to pay, when most of the functions don’t work in India.
So did you buy the iPhone or are you like others waiting for the companies to reduce the price.
According to latest reports, the iPhone will be launched at an approx price of INR 20,000/- which according to me, is not at all expensive.
The iPhone is launching at $199 in the US, but people tend to forget it comes with a 2 year contract, which means you commit to pay a fix monthly sum. Ofcourse you get credits worth that much, but what if you dont utilise your minutes, its not worth it.
As far as I understand, AT&T have hiked their data plans, and wouldnt be less than $50 per month, so a 2 year contract would costs $199 (Iphone) + ($50 X 24) = $1399 (INR 58,758)
In Australia, telstra is launching the iPhone at $279 AUD for the 8GB model, and $399 for the 16GB model, but you would have to go on a $30 monthly plan, which works out total to around $999 AUD(INR 35,964) for the 8GB model.
If you do not wish to pay anything for the iPhone, you can do so on a $80AUD monthly plan, which works out to $1920 AUD(INR 69,120). I’m wondering who would really go in for this option?
So, all said and done, folks in India should not think that INR 20,000 is expensive.
I mentioned earlier about the various Ipod dockers available in the market. Just came across this dual docker from JVC.
If you own an iPod along with an iPhone, then one would suit you the most.
The website says “Aside from docking more than one iThing at a time, the $149.95 NX-PN7 features AM/FM tuning, alarm clock, timer and unspecified video out. Plus, the dock features two illuminated strips (one under each iPod) that can display nine programmable colors. That’s probably enough selection to match at least one of the other superfluously illuminative devices you have floating around the house.” Link
iPhone lovers in India – Time to rejoice!!
Vodafone has been chosen to officially launch the iPhone in India, and the expected date is the first week of September. So there’s still a little more than 2 months of wait. Once the iPhone is launched in India, Im not sure how Vodafone will manage to meet the demands, unless the price the phone a little steeply, and according to the rumours, the iPhone will be launched at a price between INR 27,000 to INR 30,000.
Now that surely will take away some buyers. The owners will not be restricted to using services from Vodafone alone. It will be an unlocked phone and the users are free to use any operator apart from Vodafone.
