August 31st, 2008

Latest Price of An iPhone in India

August 20th, 2008

The price of new IPhone as suggested by Vodafone and Airtel is Rs 31000 for a 8GB model and Rs 36000 GB for a 16GB Model. The iPhone in the US is for $200 (nearly Rs8100). What’s even more surprising is that Vodafone is actually asking you to book the iPhone by paying Rs 10,000 (nearly $2500) as advance. There is a huge demand for iPhone but I am not sure how successful the iPhone would be if the prices do not come down. One of the major reasons for such a huge popularity of iPhone 3G was that the price in the US was almost slashed by half, thus making it affordable to the common mass.

The battery in question is traditional Lithium – Ion Battery which has had several such incidents in Laptops. It is not sure if the same battery is being used all round the world.
